Table 3 Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy are the two predefined cutoff points of the painDETECT questionnaire for detecting of impairment of the conditioned pain modulation

From: Does the painDETECT questionnaire identify impaired conditioned pain modulation in people with musculoskeletal pain? – a diagnostic accuracy study
