What are the Key Components of the MPQ?

The MPQ consists of three main components:
- Pain Rating Index (PRI): This index is derived from the selection of pain descriptors and provides a quantitative measure of pain intensity.
- Present Pain Intensity (PPI): Patients rate their current pain on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates no pain and 5 indicates excruciating pain.
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): This scale allows patients to mark their pain level on a continuum, providing a visual representation of their pain intensity.
