Cross-Cultural Validation of the Arabic Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ): Libyan Version in Patients With Musculoskeletal Pain.

These results suggest that the Arabic SF-MPQ is reliable, valid, and cross-culturally equivalent to the original SF-MPQ for evaluating musculoskeletal pain among Arabic-speaking patients in Libya. Clinicians and researchers may therefore consider using this scale, as it is easy to use and understand by different age groups. Further research is needed to confirm our findings and to test the developed Arabic version of the SF-MPQ on different patient populations.
