Abstract

The Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS) is frequently used in pain research and treatment to classify mild, bothersome, and high impact chronic pain. This study’s objective was to validate the revised version of the GCPS (GCPS-R) in a U.S. Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare sample to support its use in this high-risk population.
