OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability and validity of 2 measures of pain interference in persons with cerebral palsy (CP). DESIGN: Standardized interviews to assess pain and impact of pain on activities. SETTING: University medical center. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty adults with CP. INTERVENTIONS: Patients asked to rate pain's intensity, interference with general activities, and depression levels. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain interference scales: Chronic Pain Grade (CPG) and Brief Pain Inventory (BPI); rating of disability: Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART); rating of depression: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale. RESULTS: Mean interference of pain on 3 CPG items (pain interference with daily activities, social activities, work) were 1.74 +/- 2.45, 1.06 +/- 2.05, and.89 +/- 1.84 (out of 10), respectively. Mean interference on 10 modified BPI interference items ranged from 2.28 +/- 3.01 to 3.67 +/- 3.15 (out of 10). The composite CPG interference score did not correlate significantly with pain intensity. However, the composite BPI interference score did correlate significantly with pain intensity (r = .66, P < .01). There was no significant association shown between average pain and the CHART score (r = -.21, NS). Pain showed a significant association with CES-D score (r = .45, P < .05). Internal consistency of the 3 CPG items was inadequately low (Cronbach alpha = .59), whereas that of the 10 BPI items was excellent (.89). CONCLUSIONS: The pain interference items of the BPI serve as a reliable and valid measure of pain's impact on persons with CP-related pain.
