Functional restoration is a key goal of chronic pain treatment1, yet pain scores remain the dominant metric. The Tennessee Functional Status Questionnaire (TFSQ) captures multiple dimensions of function (Figure 1), but lacks a composite score to support longitudinal tracking2. This study aimed to develop a composite TFSQ Index and evaluate its correlation with the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ), a validated tool for assessing function in patients with low back and leg pain3,4.
