The Pain Behavior Checklist is a self-report questionnaire, useful to assess the construct of "pain behavior" as observable manifestations of pain. It can be used to aid in diagnosis, in establishing primary targets in pain treatment and rehabilitation programs, and in assessing treatment outcomes. Pain behavior measure may also serve as an important tool in studies aimed to assess interaction with novel technologies, such as exoskeletons and wearables.
