== Summary == The publication of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (Melzack, 1975) represented a major (r)evolution in pain research. Pain was mainly described and measured in terms of intensity. Thanks to the MPQ the qualitative aspect of pain became also, besides the intensity of pain an important subject in the pain research.[1] Words related to pain where brought together and categorized in three dimensions of pain experience: words that describe the sensory qualities of the experience in terms of temporal, spatial, pressure, thermal, and other properties; words that describe affective qualities in terms of tension, fear, and autonomic properties that are part of the pain experience; and evaluative words describing the subjective overall intensity of the total pain experience.[2]

Dworkin et al[1] amended the SF-MPQ to produce a measure (the SF-MPQ-2) that has excellent reliability and validity and provided support for four readily interpretable subscales—continuous pain, intermittent pain, predominantly neuropathic pain, and affective descriptors.
