[Symptom checklists in patients with chronic pain]
Schmerz (Berlin, Germany) 2007;
21(
1):.
Symptom checklists, in particular the SCL-90-R, are widely used in screening for psychological distress in patients with chronic pain. A detailed analysis reveals that this may lead to wrong diagnoses in many cases. The problem of using the SCL-90-R in patients with chronic pain is (a) that scale means are elevated due to items asking for pain-associated symptoms and (b) that there is a lack of specificity of the various dimensions of the SCL-90-R. Numerous short forms of the SCL-90-R are compared to the original one and analysed with respect to their applicability in patients with chronic pain. Other screening questionnaires not related to the SCL-90-R were analysed for the same purpose. As a result, the SCL-27, K9, HADS and PHQ are judged to be applicable for screening in patients with chronic pain.
