Abstract

The need for measuring emotional functioning in chronic pain patients was recognized decades ago. The Initiative on Methods, Measures, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) proposed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) for this purpose. However, to date, its factor structure has not been confirmed in these patients.
