Method evidence record

Brief Pain Inventory

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a concise, validated self-report instrument developed by Cleeland and Ryan beginning in 1994 to measure the severity and functional impact of pain in patients with cancer and chronic pain conditions. The BPI-Short Form comprises 11 items assessing pain severity and interference with daily activities, enabling rapid multidimensional pain assessment across diverse clinical populations.
