    Pain Disability Index

    In order to determine how effective your treatment is, we need to know how much pain is interfering in your normal activities. For the 7 areas listed below, please circle the number on the scale which describes the level of disability you have experienced in each area OVER THE PAST WEEK. A score of "0" means no disability at all, and a score of -10- indicates that all of the activities which you would normally do have been totally disrupted or prevented by your pain over the past week. Circle "0" if a category does not apply to you.
