Pain-related distress is defined as the multifactorial unpleasant emotional experience of a cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, or spiritual nature due to the chronic pain (“how distressed are you by the pain?). The patient should be asked to rate the average pain-related distress they experienced in the last week on an 11-point numerical rating scale (ranging from 0 ‘no pain-related distress’ to 10 ‘extreme pain-related distress’) or a 100mm visual rating scale.
