Changes in pain catastrophizing were assessed with the pain catastrophizing scale. It consists of a 13-item scale with values from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the pain catastrophization.

In the PROMIS PI, item category responses range from 1 to 5. T scores had a mean score of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 points. Low scores on the PROMIS PI represent less interference of pain with physical function, whereas high scores represent greater interference with physical function.

The Short Form McGuill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) is a version of the original McGuill Pain Questionnaire, discovered by Melzak in 1987. This scale is divided into several parts. The first part consists of a list of 15 adjectives, including 11 sensory and 4 affective descriptors of pain (e.g., terrible, throbbing, etc.) on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), giving an overall score ranging from 0 to 45, as well as two scores from 0 to 33 for the sensory subscale and 0 to 12 for the affective subscale. In addition, it includes a VAS scale that assesses the patient's pain in the last week. Finally, it includes a Present Pain Intensity Scale (PPI). The PPI is based on a single item measuring overall pain intensity. Patients are asked about their current level of pain on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 5 (unbearable). This scale has been shown to have excellent psychometric properties.
