Summary[edit | edit source]

The P4 consists of 4 items that address pain intensity in the morning, afternoon, evening, and with activity over the past 2 days. Each item is scored on a 0-to-10 NPRS, therefore the total P4 scores can vary from 0 (no pain) to 40 (the highest possible pain level). Most patients can complete the P4 in less than a minute and clinicians can score the measure in 5 seconds without the use of computational aids.

The purpose of developing this questionnaire was to attempt assessing change better than the two difference versions of a single-item NPRS.

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Those over the age of 16 with non-chronic musculoskeletal pain. It has also been shown to be valid when used in conjunction with the WOMAC in people with osteoarthritis awaiting total knee or total hip replacements.[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

P4 Questionnaire.png


Patients are asked to circle a single number that corresponds to their pain at each time of day and with activity over the previous 2 days. The numbers are then totaled to yield a score out of 40.

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

Test-retest reliability = 0.78

Validity[edit | edit source]

Longitudinal validity = 0.63 and 0.57 between the retrospective rating of change and the P4 and 24-hour NPRS (z = 1.73, P1 = .043), and 0.61 and 0.56 between the retrospective rating of change and the P4 and 2-day NPRS (z = 2.53, P1 = .006), respectively.

Responsiveness[edit | edit source]

MDC90 = 9.1 points or 22.2% of the scale range
