Multicenter Study
[Validation of the Spanish version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in fibromyalgia].
Pain catastrophization is considered an important risk factor for pain in general and, specifically, for fibromyalgia. There are no validated Spanish versions of any of the questionnaires developed to assess pain catastrophization. The aim of this study was to validate the Spanish version of the Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS), one of the most used questionnaires to assess pain catastrophization. ⋯ The Spanish version of the PCS shows appropriate psychometric properties, similar to the English original scale. Therefore, PCS could be useful for clinical practice and research in Spanish patients with fibromyalgia.
