Re: Iwasaki LR, et al. Validation of a modified McGill Pain Questionnaire for orthodontic patients. Angle Orthod. 2013;83:906-912

摘要

Thank you for sharing the letter with comments from Dr. Philip Benson. His comments are appreciated and he offers good suggestions to better the current Modified McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form (MMPQ-SF11) for adolescent orthodontic patients in future. We are in agreement with him and this is reflected in the Discussion section of our paper, see p. 911:"...Nevertheless, the current study had limitations that should be addressed in future studies. For example, a next step to further validate the MMPQ-SF11 as an age appropriate instrument to measure pain would be an assessment of face validity through obtaining evaluations and feedback from adolescent subjects regarding the relevance of the descriptors."
