Information regarding The brief pain inventory. please answer questions below

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) evaluates a patient's pain experience through a number of different scales. There are line drawings of the front and back of a human body on which patients mark the location of their pain. Patients are asked to list the treatments or medications that they are using and how much relief they have provided in the past 24 hours. In addition, patients fill out 11 different NRS that ask about pain intensity (present as well as least, most, and average for the past 24 hours) and the effect of the pain on their ability to function during various activities of daily living. The benefits of the BPI are that it has been validated and shown to be reliable in a number of different pain states. It is an excellent tool to use for monitoring the effect of pain or treatment of pain, or both, in terms of a patient's functional ability or disability over time. Its major disadvantage is that it takes 5 to 15 minutes to complete (depending on which form is used), thus making it less desirable for repeated use in an acute pain setting.

1 What are the advantages of the  Brief Pain Inventory  ( BPI) questionnaire for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA ) patients:

2   What are the disadvantages of the Brief Pain Inventory ( BPI )questionnaire for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients:

Answer 1

1. The BPI showed acceptable reliablility,construct validity and responsiveness in patients with OA undergoing THR. BPI is short and therefore is easy to use and score , though the instrument offers few advantages over and duplicate scale of more comprehensive instruments,such as the WOMAC and SF-36.

The brevity of the BPI-sf makes it suitable for settings in which pain is assessed on a daily basis,where as the long -form may be more appropriate as a baseline measure.

Electronic method for collecting data directly from patients have many benefits,and are increasingly being used for patients diaries and questionnaires that have been developed and validated using paper are converted to electronic format it is necessary to determine weather changes made in migration may affect patients response.

In inflammatory rheumatic diseases ,inf information from a patient history data can be recorded standardized,quantitative scientific data through use of validate self reported questionnaires address the primary concerns of patients and yhthe families.Questionnaire scores distinguish active from control treatment in clinical trials at similar level to swollen and tender joint counts or laboratory tests. Patients questionnaires are useful to monitor patient status in usual clinical care ,with almost no effort on the part of the physician and staff if distributed by the receptionist in the infrastructure of office practice.

2. The disadvantages is that it is time consuming.Hence ,BPI is multidimensional,assesses pain in several aspects like location,intensity ,iinterference, impact on the patient's daily life.The BPI assesses the major clinical characteristics of pain and it's impact on daily functions.

Considering that RA is the most common inflammatory arthropathy worldwide and causes multiple disabilities,an inadequate assessment of clinical status can lead to inappropriate treatment and desirable outcomes.

FM exists in a substantial number of patients with RA (17.1)%,who have more severe RA by subjective and objective measures,hrea gre medical costs,worse outcomes,more comorbidities , sociodemographic disadvantages,and substantially worse quality of life.We hypothesize that illness severity and sociodemographic disadvantages both play a role in producing the clinical picture of of FM.
