In this week’s episode, Linda Wilhelm and Delane Linkiewich talk about a newly developed tool called “My Pain Assessment and Communication Tool: MPaCT”. Created collaboratively by people living with chronic pain, the tool moves beyond the traditional 0-to-10 pain scale to capture the full physical, emotional, and social impact of pain. Featuring a body map, descriptive pain language, and open-text fields, MPaCT aims to improve communication between patients and healthcare providers, ultimately supporting more personalized, patient-centred chronic pain care across Canada and beyond.
