Italian Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire Validation Study with 110 Subjects

110 subjects with neuropathic pain were assessed in a study to translate and validate the Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) for Italian clinical use. Giuseppe Giovannico authored the dataset, which includes psychometric analysis results such as Cronbach's alpha of 0.84 and ICC of 0.86. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Validate the Italian Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire based on reported Cronbach's alpha and ICC scores
• Assess measurement error in neuropathic pain scores based on the minimal detectable change (MDC) of 1.08 points
• Evaluate construct validity for clinical instruments based on the reported 71.4% hypothesis confirmation rate
• Compare factor structures of pain questionnaires based on the reported one-factor structure and eigenvalue ratio

Strengths

• Psychometric properties are reported with specific metrics: Cronbach's alpha = 0.84, ICC = 0.86
• Sample size of 110 subjects provides a basis for validation analysis
• Measurement error is quantified with a minimal detectable change (MDC) of 1.08 points

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is 193.2 KB, indicating a limited scope likely focused on validation results rather than raw patient responses
