Second only to the common cold, pain is the most common reason for
health care visits. It results in significant personal and social
costs to individuals, and economic costs to society. Chronic pain
has been estimated to cost more than 100 billion annually in the
United States, and its estimated annual cost to European countries
ranges from 1.1 to nearly 50 billion Euros (nearly 1.5 billion to
over 60 billion dollars). In order to treat pain, clinicians need
to be able to assess pain and its effects on functioning. However,
100s, if not 1000s, of different measures of pain and pain-related
domains exist. Surprisingly, despite the fact that much is known
about the psychometrics strengths and weaknesses of existing
measures, there does not yet exist a simple pain assessment guide
that describes the most useful and psychometrically sound pain
measures for health care providers. This book fills this need.
