These results highlight the non-interchangeability of these instruments for PL identification and underscore the importance of each tool's unique advantages and limitations. The study also highlighted the potential benefits of incorporating innovative pain metrics into current health questionnaires to enhance their clinimetric properties. These findings advocate for continued research with larger and more diverse patient cohorts to further validate PDs and ACLs and to explore additional psychometric properties for pain assessment.
