- Questions about how the pain is impacting the patient's everyday activities
- Questions about the patient's emotional well being
- Pain diary completed by patient, documenting pain occurrence throughout the day
Physical examination
Diagnostic testing such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans

Other tests to determine exact location and source of the pain
