The Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) Pain Registry database contains patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes for a prospective cohort of 1159 chronic pain patients who were seen at the WCMC Pain Medicine outpatient clinic from 7/08/2011 to 12/10/2014. Patients aged 45-64 comprised 43% followed by age >=65 at 37%. Fifty-eight percent were female. Average pain intensity (Brief Pain Inventory) was reported as mild by 22.3% of patients, moderate by 34.7%, and severe by 43.0%. For each pain intensity category, patient’s report of average percent pain relief and health state (EQ-5D) was inversely related to average pain intensity category, while measures of pain interference, number of worst pain locations, and physical and psychological distress were directly related to pain intensity category.
