A review of the use and psychometric properties of the chronic pain acceptance questionnaires

Rehabil Psychol. 2021 Feb;66(1):102-105. doi: 10.1037/rep0000342.

Abstract

This review summarizes data presented in published psychometric papers evaluating the measurement properties of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) measures. The CPAQ measures quantify levels of acceptance of chronic pain across two facets of acceptance: willingness to experience rather than avoid or control pain and engagement in daily activities and life goals despite the presence of pain.
