The TJR-DVPRS is valid for use among veterans undergoing TJR and poses significantly less respondent burden than does the SF-MPQ-2. The brevity and ease of use of the TJR-DVPRS make it a practical tool for use during surgical recovery to monitor pain intensity at rest and with movement in the operative joint, and to assess pain interference with activity, sleep, and mood. The TJR-DVPRS is at least as responsive as the SF-MPQ-2, but the SF-MPQ-2 neuropathic and TJR-DVPRS nonoperative joint subscales were minimally responsive. Limitations of this study include the small sample size, under-representation of women (which would be expected in the veteran population), and using only veterans. Future validations studies should include civilians and active military TJR patients.
