Validation of the Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain Questionnaire in Patients with Hand Osteoarthritis: Results from the Nor-Hand Study.

However, our results indicate that constant and intermittent pain do not represent separate constructs in hand OA, questioning the usefulness of the 2 subscales. [ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03083548].
