Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
STOP, THAT and One Hundred Other Sleep Scales

Abstract

Given the bidirectional link between sleep and pain, we have included this instrument. Both long and short versions of the BPI have been developed, with the long version including additional descriptive items that may help with assessment. The shorter version consists of 12 items that assess two factors: the severity of pain and its impact on daily life. The severity factor queries current symptoms, symptoms on average, and the range of pain intensity that they experience. The impact factor asks respondents how pain interferes with their general activity, mood, mobility, work, relationships, sleep, and enjoyment of life.
