PROMIS Pain Interference
PROMIS Pain Interference measures how pain interferes with daily activities. This page is for clinics. It is not a diagnosis and not a public test.
Overview
What is the PROMIS Pain Interference?
PROMIS Pain Interference is part of the PROMIS family. Short forms and computer-adaptive testing are different products. A T-score is not a pain diagnosis.
Development and clinical use
This entry is PROMIS Short Form v1.1 Pain Interference 8a, eight items over the past 7 days. The raw sum converts to a T-score on the adult 8a table, from 40.7 to 77.0. The score ranges are within normal limits (40.7-55.0), mild (55.1-59.9), moderate (60.0-70.0) and severe (70.1-77.0).
