SCS and Psychological Readiness
What You Can Do on This Site
On the member pages of this site, you can complete a PCS (Pain Catastrophizing Scale) self-check.
The PCS is a simple 13-question tool that helps you understand your "thinking patterns" about pain. It takes just 5 minutes.
Benefits of the PCS Self-Check
- Understand your own state objectively — Turn vague feelings of distress into measurable numbers
- Track changes over time — Monitor how you change before and after treatment
- Share with your doctor — Results are included in a PDF report that you can bring to your appointment
The PCS self-check is a tool for self-understanding. Diagnosis and treatment decisions should always be made in consultation with your doctor.
