Background: We aimed at critically appraising the clinimetric properties of existing pain scales or questionnaires and to give recommendations for their use in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Clinimetric properties of pain scales used in PD were systematically evaluated. A scale was classified as 'recommended' if was used in PD, showed adequate clinimetric properties, and had been used by investigators other than the original developers; as 'suggested' if it was used in PD and fulfilled only one other criterion; and as 'listed' if it was used in PD but did not meet the other criteria.
