The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a scale to evaluate cancer and noncancer pain developed by The Pain Research Group of the University of Wisconsin, validated in Spanish. It includes evaluation of pain intensity, emotional and functional repercussion of pain. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of interventional pain procedures in back pain using the BPI. The study was performed in the Pain Clinic Service of the University Anesthesiolgy Department, Hospital de Clínicas, Montevideo, Uruguay, from October 2013 to March 2014. Sixty patients with back pain received epidural and facet joint steroid injections as part of a multimodal treatment approach. The BPI was performed before and 1 month after receiving the procedures. More than 50% of the patients had a successful response to procedures, defined this as a 50% improvement in BPI scale items, comparing control measures with baseline ones. The BPI was considered a useful tool to evaluate. The effects of interventional procedures in back pain treatment.
These effects were considered moderate in a short term follow-up.
