Abstract
Although widely used, there have been few investigations of the factorial validity of the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ; Melzack, 1987). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed on item responses to the SF-MPQ obtained from 188 patients with chronic back pain. Consistent with the original structure proposed by Melzack (1987), results indicated that the SF-MPQ is best represented by a two-factor solution. However, these findings are contrary to results obtained by Burckhardt and Bjelle (1994) who, using their Swedish version of the SF-MPQ, obtained a three-factor solution. Potential explanations for the disparity between the results of the two studies are explored and recommendations for continuing clinical and research applications are offered.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
