Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire
There has not been an instrument in Finnish to assess the acceptance of chronic pain.
The Finnish version of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) is a reliable and valid method for measuring chronic pain acceptance.
In physiotherapy, CPAQ can be a useful instrument collecting background information of the chronic pain patient and assessing when to consult a psychologist. In addition in long therapies assessing the enhanced acceptance can be monitored with CPAQ.
