Clinical intent

The Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) is an easily accessible, reliable and valid self-report questionnaire that measures the impact of pain on an individual’s life, how others respond to that person’s expression of pain and the frequency at which the individual engages in specific activities of daily life [1]. Evidence-based and consensus reviews of the MPI [2,3] have recommended this instrument for the assessment of individuals suffering from chronic pain and as a core outcome measure within clinical trials.
