The Psychological Flexibility in Pain Instrument will be used. The ability to act in alignment of goals, values and in acceptance while living with pain and distress.The Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale (PIPS) is a 12-item scale measuring avoidance of pain, and fusion with pain thoughts. Scores range from 7-84 with a higher score indicating increased psychological inflexibility in pain.
