Abstract

Patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FS) experience a decreased ability to participate in both vocational and avocational activities. Although many treatment programs advocate activity pacing techniques, 'pacing' is a poorly understood concept for which there are no available measures. The present study describes a brief six-item pacing scale that can be administered as part of the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI). Preliminary data indicate that this scale is a valid, reliable index of the pacing construct that is associated with physical impairment in patients with FS and is unrelated to simple task persistence.

In previous studies, more use of pacing has been associated with positive psychosocial outcomes in the form of lower affective distress and greater perceived pain control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
