Psychological Evaluation
We use a series of computerized psychological testing procedures to better understand the multi-faceted symptoms and injuries in your case.
A unique patient diary is one instrument we use to track patients’ psychological progress in the areas of pain, energy, and quality of life. We gather initial patient diary responses prior to commencing treatment and repeat on a weekly basis throughout the course of treatment. In some cases, an additional diary (recorded by a spouse or significant other) may be used as well.
The patient diary includes:
- A simplified format asking for responses on a Likert (1-10) scale
- Tracking general health status, diet, nutrition, sleep, alcohol, and smoking
- Note-taking freedom to explain feelings and progress
- Thoughts regarding depression, anxiety, frustration, and communication
- Question prompts covering body aches, pains and other somatic complaints, energy, medications and over-the-counter remedies
