Objective[edit | edit source]
The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) is a self-reporting measure of pain used for patients with a number of diagnoses. It assesses both quality and intensity of subjective pain.
Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
Validated for patients with Cancer, Chronic Pelvic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Herniated intervertebral discs, Ischemic muscular pain, Low back pain, Lumbago-sciatica, Orthodontics / Dental pain, Postoperative complications, Rheumatic pain, Trigeminal neuralgia and atypical facial pain, Vulvar pain
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The MPQ is composed of 78 words, of which respondents choose those that best describe their experience of pain. Seven words are selected from the following categories: dimension 1 to 10 (pain descriptors), three words; dimensions 11 to 15 (affective components of pain), dimension 16 (evaluation of pain) one word, and dimension 17 to 20 (miscellaneous) one word. Scores are tabulated by summing values associated with each word; scores range from 0 (no pain) to 78 (severe pain). Qualitative differences in pain may be reflected in respondent’s word choice [1]
MPQ Dimensions

1 | Flickering/beating |
2 | Jumping/shooting |
3 | Pricking/lancinating |
4 | Sharp/lacerating |
5 | Pinching/crushing |
6 | Tugging/wrenching |
7 | Hot/searing |
8 | Tingling/stinging |
9 | Dull/heavy |
10 | Tender/splitting |

11 | Tiring/exhausting |
12 | Sickening/suffocating |
13 | Fearful/terrifying |
14 | Punishing/killing |
15 | Wretched/blinding |
Evaluative: | |
16 | Annoying/unbearable |

17 | Spreading/piercing |
18 | Tight/tearing |
19 | Cold/freezing |
20 | Nagging/torturing |

Evidence[edit | edit source]
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Test-retest Reliability:
(Ferraz et al., 1990; n = 91 (66 literate & 25 illiterate) [2]
Excellent test-retest reliability (literate) r = 0.96
Excellent test-retest reliability (illiterate) r = 0.95
Validity[edit | edit source]
Criterion Validity:
Lung, Head or Neck, and Prostate Cancer:
(Fisher et al., 2010; n = 302; mean age = 60.5 (11.5) years; all patients undergoing radiation treatment) [3]
Concurrent validity: number of words chosen predicted by (using standardized regression coefficients, Beta):
- State Anxiety (Beta = 0.06)
- Depression (Beta = 0.07)
- Greater number of coping strategies used (Beta = 0.16)
Construct Validity:
Low Back Pain:
(Byrne et al, 1982; n = 98 (63 female, 35 male); mean age 41.7 (male); 48.1 (female) years; mean duration of back pain 5.5 and 7.7 years respectively) [4]
- Factor analyses was used, loadings were compared to prior research (e.g. Prieto et al., 1980[5]). Comparisons suggest a similar pattern of factor loadings.
Content Validity:
Literature Review:
(Melzack, 1975; measure development) [6]
- Subject Matter Experts classified 102 words gleaned from the extant literature.
- Words were categorized into 3 classes and 16 subclasses, these include:
Sensory qualities: temporal, spatial, pressure, thermal and "other" properties of pain
Affective qualities: tension fear and automatic properties of pain
Evaluative terms: a subjective assessment of overall pain intensity.
- Groups of doctors, patients and students then assigned numeric intensity values to each word
High levels of agreement were observed despite difference in cultural, socio-economic and educational levels
