Validation of the Japanese version of the Bath CRPS Body Perception Disturbance Scale for CRPS.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeBody perception disturbance is a common symptom and may be one of the key targets of treatment intervention in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). As a comprehensive assessment tool of body perception in patients with CRPS, the Bath Body Perception Disturbance Scale (BPDS) was developed, and its adequate reliability and validity have been reported. However, there is no available Japanese version. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Japanese version of BPDS (BPDS-J) and to investigate the validity of this scale in Japanese patients with CRPS.
methodsWe developed BPDS-J using a forward-backward method. We then assessed 22 patients with CRPS type 1 of the upper limb using BPDS-J, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and a two-point discrimination threshold (TPD) on the middle finger. We investigated the internal consistency of BPDS-J and the correlation between BPDS-J and clinical outcomes as a concurrent validity measure.
resultsBPDS-J had good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.73) and was significantly correlated with the TPD ratio (r = 0.65, adjusted p = 0.01) and TSK (r = 0.51, adjusted p = 0.04).
conclusionsBPDS-J has good internal consistency and concurrent validity for assessing body perception disturbance in Japanese patients with CRPS. Disturbed body perception may be worth evaluating when managing patients with CRPS using BPDS.
