  • Title: Test--retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in chronic pain over a longer period of time.
    Author: Lamé IE, Peters ML, Kessels AG, Van Kleef M, Patijn J.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2008 Sep; 13(6):820-6. PubMed ID: 18697895.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to investigate the test-retest stability of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and their subscales in chronic pain patients over relatively long period of times like those that are most often seen in clinical practice. Fifty non-malignant chronic pain patients filled out the PCS and TSK twice with a mean interval between testing of 52 days. Both assessment instruments showed sufficient test-retest stability, even with long time intervals between testing.
