Test—retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in Chronic Pain over a Longer Period of Time
Open accessAbstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the test-retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and their subscales in chronic pain patients over relatively long period of times like those that are most often seen in clinical practice. Fifty non-malignant chronic pain patients filled out the PCS and TSK twice with a mean interval between testing of 52 days. Both assessment instruments showed sufficient test-retest stability, even with long time intervals between testing.

The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) has demonstrated strong evidence of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity in undergraduate, community, or outpatient chronic pain samples.
“The PCS has demonstrated strong evidence of internal consistency, test–retest reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity in undergraduate, community, or outpatient chronic pain samples [33–35].”

“The test–retest stability of the TSK has been assessed in chronic pain patients several times already, but always over relatively short periods of times, varying from 24 hours to eight days (Miller et al., 1991; Swinkels-Meewisse et al., 2003; Woby et al., 2005).”

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.
