Comparison of preference-based health-related quality of life measures for chronic neck pain: a pooled analysis of data from three RCTs by Eun-Jung Kim, In-Hyuk Ha, Yoon Jae Lee, Dongwoo Nam, Yeon Cheol Park, Seong Min Lee, Soo-Jin Kim

“…Despite these differences, both instruments consistently reflected treatment-related improvements in pain and function. Distribution analysis further indicated that EQ-5D-5L and SF-6Dv1 were not fully interchangeable due to variations in domain-level scoring patterns and ceiling effects observed in EQ-5D-5L.Conclusions EQ-5D-5L showed stronger negative correlations with both pain and functional outcomes compared with SF-6Dv1, suggesting that it may better capture the functional aspects of chronic neck pain, particularly in moderate-to-severe conditions. …”
