Dallas Pain Questionnaire/Evidence
Method evidence record

Dallas Pain Questionnaire

The Dallas Pain Questionnaire (DPQ) is a 16-item self-report instrument developed by Lawlis and colleagues in 1989 to assess the multidimensional impact of low back pain. The DPQ captures four domains: daily activities impact, work/leisure impairment, anxiety/depression, and pain severity, providing a comprehensive profile of low back pain's functional and psychological consequences.
