Availability
Please visit this website for more information about the instrument: King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Questionnaire
Classification
Exploratory: Parkinson's Disease (PD)
Short Description of Instrument
The King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Questionnaire (KPPQ) is the patient self-administered version of the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) which was developed to evaluate the multiple pain modalities present in PD. The KPPS is designed to be administered by health professionals.
Comments/Special Instructions
This scale is recommended to administer if patient answers "YES" to Q#10 on Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire (NMSQ) (unexplained pains).
Scoring and Psychometric Properties
Scoring: 14 items, self-report, binary yes/no responses
 
Psychometric Properties: High convergent validity with KPPS total score (rS = 0.80) but weak or moderate with other pain assessments (r = 0.31-0.46). Intraclass correlation coefficient of KPPQ total score: 0.98. Global accuracy of the 14 KPPQ items: 78.3% to 98.3% compared to KPPS as "gold standard".
Rationale/Justification
Strengths: Self-administered. Translated and validated in Japanese.
 
Weaknesses: This version does not correlate well with gold standard questionnaires but does correlate moderately well with KPPS.
