True or false: when evaluating chronic pain, you must first start with assessment of acute pain. What tools may be used?
Definition
true. then add a focus on pain impact (such as social, recreational, mood, anxiety, occupation, sleep, exercise, etc).

Use tools that are multidimensional for better assessment.
1)Brief Pain Inventory (seen the most for chronic pain **KNOW)
-Validated for cancer and non-cancer pain
-Full and shortened version
2)McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MQ-2)
-Similar but revised shorter version

a)Numerical Rating Scale
b)Wong Baker
c)DN4
d)Neuropathic Pain Scale
e)S-LANSS
Definition
just these:
c)DN4
d)Neuropathic Pain Scale
e)S-LANSS


Several scales if pt gives any indication of neuropathic pain, nerve involvement (tingling, shocking). Don’t just guess if it is neuropathic tho, use scale to see if u are on right track!

DN4: is good, validated.

Neuropathic Pain Scale: is also good, validated, is for reassessment.

S-LANSS: self reported scale, good for pt that is very cognitively there, can use to see progress for themselves..
Term
