OBJECTIVE: Chinese is the most commonly spoken language in the world, and back pain is as prevalent in China as it is elsewhere. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of measures in Chinese to evaluate back pain treatment. We assemble a set of Chinese measures to evaluate outcomes in diverse domains.

RESULTS: We found no significant differences between patients from the Pain Clinic and those from the Acupuncture Clinic.
