(1) The BDI-SF and MMPI identified 41% of the patients as depressed in common; also, each instrument identified a separate patient group as depressed. (2) Patients identified as depressed by the BDI-SF only had significantly lower pain scores than patients identified either by the MMPI alone or patients identified by both the MMPI and the BDI-SF together. (3) A significant positive correlation was found between the patients' pretreatment depression measures (BDI-SF and MMPI Scale 2). A significant negative correlation was found between the pretreatment BDI-SF measure of depression and the pretreatment level of pain. (4) Finally, for individuals, no correlation was found at follow up between change in pain level and change in depression.
