Overview

Randomized trial validates a new scale for measuring disability in cervical pain patients, indicating effective outcomes.

Key Points

  • The aim is to validate a newly created NHANES ADL scale to measure functioning and disability in cervical pain patients.
  • Analyzed NHANES database for the NHANES ADL scale using factor analysis, IRT, and internal consistency verification.
  • Included assessments of correlation with internal measures of functioning and disability.
  • The NHANES ADL scale demonstrated unidimensionality and strong internal reliability.
  • Items showed good discrimination and appropriate thresholds for measuring functioning and disability.
