Responsiveness and minimal important change of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in people with chronic low back pain undergoing multidisciplinary rehabilitation

CONCLUSIONS: The PCS-I showed good ability to detect patient-perceived clinical changes in chronic LBP post-rehabilitation. The MIC values we determined provide a benchmark for assessing individual improvement in this clinical context.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The present study calculated - in a sample of people with chronic LBP - the responsiveness and MIC of the PCS. These values increase confidence in interpreting score changes, enhancing their meaningfulness for both research and clinical contexts.PMID:34042409 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06729-0
