Abstract

The recent translation and validation of the American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire-Revised (APS-POQ-R) into Arabic marks an important advancement in addressing gaps for Arabic-speaking patients. The APS-POQ-R is a well-established tool designed to evaluate multiple dimensions of pain—severity, relief, emotional impact, interference with function and sleep, and patient participation in care.
