Abstract

Background

Orofacial pain (OFP) harms mental health and functionality. The Manchester Orofacial Pain Disability Scale (MOPDS) is a questionnaire for assessing OFP.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Chinese version of MOPDS in clinical populations, measurement invariance across different clinical statuses and sex cohorts.

Methods

This study recruited 387 OFP clinical patients. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) assessed the internal consistency and factor structure of the MOPDS. Pearson's correlation coefficient assessed external convergent validity. Composite reliability (CR), the average variance extracted (AVE) and the heterotrait–monotrait ratio (HTMT) were used to assess internal convergent and discriminate validity. Multigroup CFA explored the measurement invariance. T-test compared scores between sex groups across various clinical statuses.

Results

MOPDS in the clinical sample (Cronbach's α = 0.975, McDonald's omega = 0.975) had an acceptable internal consistency. CFA supported the two-factor structure in clinical settings with physical and psychosocial dimensions, which was applicable among different sexes and clinical groups. CR, AVE, HTMT, and correlation coefficient results with other scales proved the convergent and discriminant validity of MOPDS. Multigroup CFA supported scalar measurement invariance across different clinical statuses and sex groups. The females did not have significantly higher average scores (p > 0.05), and clinical samples had significantly higher average scores (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

The Chinese version of MOPDS is a reliable and effective instrument in clinical settings for assessing the physical and psychosocial disabilities caused by OFP by helping to develop personalised treatment plans.

曼彻斯特口腔面部疼痛障碍量表（MOPDS）在口腔面部患者和非临床人群中测量生物心理社会因素的不变性：临床调查的证据。

背景：口面部疼痛（OFP）损害心理健康和功能。曼彻斯特口面部疼痛残疾量表（MOPDS）是一份评估OFP的问卷。目的：本研究的目的是检验中文版MOPDS在临床人群中的有效性，不同临床状态和性别队列的测量不变性。方法：本研究招募临床OFP患者387例。验证性因子分析（CFA）评估MOPDS的内部一致性和因子结构。皮尔逊相关系数评估外部收敛效度。采用复合信度（CR）、平均方差提取（AVE）和异性状-单性状比（HTMT）评估内部收敛效度和区分效度。多组CFA探讨了测量不变性。t检验比较了不同临床状态下不同性别群体的得分。结果：临床样品的MOPDS （Cronbach’s α = 0.975, McDonald’s omega = 0.975）具有可接受的内部一致性。CFA支持临床环境中生理和心理两方面的双因素结构，适用于不同性别和临床群体。CR、AVE、HTMT以及与其他量表的相关系数结果均证明了MOPDS的收敛性和判别性。多组CFA支持不同临床状态和性别群体的标量测量不变性。结论：中文版的MOPDS是一种可靠有效的工具，可用于临床评估由OFP引起的身体和社会心理障碍，有助于制定个性化的治疗方案。

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
