This paper introduces the Japanese translation of the Multidimensional Affect and Pain Survey (MAPS), a 101 item questionnaire which has been demonstrated to possess a number of advantages over the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). We also review validation and other studies which used translations of MAPS into Chinese, Czech, Italian and Russian to study cancer related and chronic pain.
