Correlation between numerical rating scale (NRS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) in assessment of pain in post operative patients

Pain Assessment Using Numerical Rating Scale to Guide Analgesic Therapy in Post Operative Cardiac Surgery Patients

Pain assessment using Numerical Rating Scale to guide analgesic therapy in post operative cardiac surgery patients. Post operative pain assessment and management is a unique area of clinical practice. Repeated pain assessment is a fundamental tool for improving the quality of acute pain management. The objectives of the study were to assess pain using Numerical Rating Scale in post operative ca...

Pain 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...

Assessment of pruritus intensity: prospective study on validity and reliability of the visual analogue scale, numerical rating scale and verbal rating scale in 471 patients with chronic pruritus.

The most commonly used tool for self-report of pruritus intensity is the visual analogue scale (VAS). Similar tools are the numerical rating scale (NRS) and verbal rating scale (VRS). In the present study, initiated by the International Forum for the Study of Itch assessing reliability of these tools, 471 randomly selected patients with chronic itch (200 males, 271 females, mean age 58.44 years...

Comparison of visual analogue scale and faces rating scale in measuring acute postoperative pain.

Several pain assessment tools have been proposed for use in different settings, but neither have been validated for all patients, especially Iranians. We conducted this study to compare the accuracy of two most commonly used tools for evaluation of pain intensity in a group of postoperative Iranian patients. All postoperative patients admitted to the surgical wards of Masih Daneshvari and Rasou...
