The pain visual analog scale: is it linear or nonlinear?
UNLABELLED The visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool widely used to measure pain, yet controversy surrounds whether the VAS score is ratio or ordinal data. We studied 52 postoperative patients and measured their pain intensity using the VAS. We then asked them to consider different amounts of pain (conceptually twice as much and then half as much) and asked them to repeat their VAS rating after e...

To the Editor:—I have spent some time considering the conclusions reached by Aubrun et al. in their study investigating the relationship between the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and morphine requirements in the postanesthesia care unit. They demonstrated that the Hill equation could be used to derive a sigmoid relationship between the pain VAS and morphine dosage, and concluded that this re...

متن کاملIs it possible to objectify the visual pain scale?
OBJECTIVES To test our hypothesis that a new modified VAS (mVAS) is superior and more objective than VAS in evaluating pain perception and treatment response between genders who have renal colic pain. METHODS The individuals in patient and control groups were first asked to mark the pain perceived during access of IV line (VASIV score). Then the patients with renal colic were asked to mark th...
متن کاملPain relief scale is more highly correlated with numerical rating scale than with visual analogue scale in chronic pain patients.
The pain relief scale (PRS) is a method that measures the magnitude of change in pain intensity after treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between PRS and changes in pain determined by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS), to confirm the evidence supporting the use of PRS. Sixty patients with chronic spinal pain that had a VAS and NRS record...
