Estimates of Minimally Important Differences (MIDs) for Two Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Computer‐Adaptive Tests in Chronic Pain Patients

This study is among the first to address MIDs for PROMIS measures; it is the first study to establish usable MIDs for psychological symptoms on outpatients with chronic/persistent pain. The results may be used to gauge minimally important clinical difference and/or treatment response for individuals within this patient population. MIDs for PROs are particularly useful when treatment responses are significant to the patient but are difficult to evaluate during the clinical visit.
