How the Scales are Structured

example score
8/15
Nerve-Related Features (NRF)
This scale summarizes how many nerve-related features (such as radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness) you reported with your back pain.
Back-localized pattern
Limited nerve-like features
Clinical review advised
0: Back-localized pattern | 12: Limited nerve-like features | 315: Clinical review advised
A score of 8 falls in the "Clinical review advised" range, indicating several nerve-like features were endorsed and the pattern may warrant further clinical consideration.
example score
9/15
Persistence and Daily Impact (PaDI)
This scale summarizes how persistent back pain feels and how much it is disrupting sleep or daily functioning.
Improving / limited impact
Ongoing effect
Assessment recommended
0: Improving / limited impact | 12: Ongoing effect | 315: Assessment recommended
A score of 9 falls in the “Assessment recommended” range, suggesting the pain has been persistent or function-limiting enough to merit clinical review rather than simple monitoring.
example score
3/15
Urgent Warning Signs (UWS)
This scale reflects whether the quiz captured urgent warning signs or red-flag features sometimes associated with back pain.
No listed indicators
Relevant context
Prompt action
0: No listed indicators | 12: Relevant context | 315: Prompt action
A score of 3 falls in the “Prompt action” range, suggesting the quiz captured one or more urgent warning-sign features and that the endorsed items matter on their own regardless of the total.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Back Pain Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

Use this free Back Pain Quiz to reflect on warning signs, nerve-related symptoms, and the effect pain is having on daily life. It cannot identify the cause of back pain or provide a diagnosis, and its score bands are not clinical cutoffs. A clinician or specialist can assess your history and examine you. Seek urgent medical help for new bladder or bowel loss, numbness around the groin or seat area, major trauma, rapidly worsening weakness, fainting, severe chest or abdominal pain, or serious illness with back pain.
