Psychometric Properties of the German Version of the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ) in Pain-Free Samples and Samples with Acute and Chronic Pain

The German PVAQ seems to be a measure of pain vigilance equally valid as found in other countries, suggesting good construct validity in pain-free individuals and in pain patients.

Psychometric evaluation of the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ) in fibromyalgia: Confirmatory factor analysis and the development of a Swedish 8‐item version

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Swedish version of the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire, a self‐report questionnaire to measure attention to pain.

Sexual disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain—a multicenter retrospective analysis

In Italian patients, the percentage of not-responding to Oswestry Disability Index-8 was relatively low, and sexual disability was related to depression, activity avoidance, and rumination.

The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

Clinical guidelines now recommend that clinicians identify the presence of kinesiophobia among patients as it may contribute to persistent pain and disability, and the use of TSK-13 and T SK-17 is encouraged as they are valid, reliable, and responsive.

Cortical signature related to psychometric properties of pain vigilance in healthy individuals: A voxel-based morphometric study

VBM results demonstrate that attention to pain scores assessed by PVAQ are associated with morphological features of the left AIC, which may contribute to the elucidation of the complex psychological and neurophysiological characteristics of patients with chronic pain.

Neural correlates of central pain sensitization in chronic low back pain: a resting-state fMRI study

The findings revealed that patients with cLBP exhibited higher sensitivity, attention, and catastrophizing tendencies towards pain compared to HC, and altered precuneus ALFF on pain intensity was mediated by pain threshold in these patients.

The Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide in Italian University Students: Validation of the INQ-15 and the ACSS-FAD

It is suggested that long-term repetitive nociceptive input caused by chronic pain further aggravates the pain intensity by impairing the vigilance-related pain processing within the anterior cingulate cortex in CNSP patients.
