SAMPLE 8 – Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)

The Brief Pain Inventory is available in a short version (acute care/emergency departments) and a long version (persistent or chronic pain). The short form is included here as an example.

The Brief Pain Inventory has been validated in at least 7 different languages by examining the consistency of its two-factor structure (factors: severity of pain and impact of pain).

• Chinese
• Filipino
• French
• German
• Greek
• Hindi
• Italian
• Japanese
• Spanish
• Taiwanese
• Vietnamese

Validation studies are underway for versions translated into other languages.
