The ISCIP classifies pain after SCI in three tiers according to type of pain and pain source. The ISCIP is a system for classifying type of pain rather than a true outcome measure that can measure change in pain over time.
3 tiers
Variable
Initially reviewed by Rachel Tappan, PT, NCS, Eileen Tseng, PT, DPT, NCS and the SCI EDGE task force of the Neurology Section of the APTA in 3/2012
Recommendations for use of the instrument from the Neurology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association’s Multiple Sclerosis Taskforce (MSEDGE), Parkinson’s Taskforce (PD EDGE), Spinal Cord Injury Taskforce (PD EDGE), Stroke Taskforce (StrokEDGE), Traumatic Brain Injury Taskforce (TBI EDGE), and Vestibular Taskforce (Vestibular EDGE) are listed below. These recommendations were developed by a panel of research and clinical experts using a modified Delphi process.
