Interestingly, social function was the most frequently selected domain with pain intensity, although participants did not consider social health as an important area as physical health, which was obviously supported by the results of the open-ended question and PROMIS cards parts of the interview. Social function was merged from two PROMIS domains; “ability to participate in social roles and activities” and “satisfaction with social roles and activities”.
