Pain Catastrophizing and Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3(RAPID3) in Ten Categories of Rheumatology Outpatients

September 20, 2021 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Transversal Study of Correlations Between Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and RAPID3 Score According to Ten Categories of Conditions Seen in an Outpatient Rheumatology Clinic

Fulfilling by all patients consequently seen by 6 rheumatologists in a same outpatient rheumatology clinic (in at least one month period) of a set of 6 questionnaires, including RAPID3 and pain catastrophizing scales.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Fulfilling by all patients (seen by 6 rheumatologists in a same outpatient rheumatology clinic from a university French hospital in at least one month period) of a set of 6 questionnaires including a RAPID3 score (Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3) and pain catastrophizing scale, as well as Pain detect and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale questionnaires (HAD) , in ten predefined categories of disorders: rheumatoid arthritis; any spondyloarthritis; other inflammatory rheumatisms or systemic disorders; osteoarthritis of the upper part of the body; osteoarthritis of the lower part of the body; back pain and/or radiculalgia; bone disorders, including osteoporosis; tendinosis and other soft tissue conditions; peripheral neuropathy, including entrapment neuropathies; fibromyalgia and related conditions.
