A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales used for the first time in 1921 by Hayes and Patterson. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms.
Healthcare providers have at least 11 types of pain scales to choose from. They generally fall into one of three categories: Numerical rating scales (NRS): Uses numbers to rate pain; Visual analog scales (VAS): Asks you to select a picture that best matches your pain level
Both the Visual Analog Scale for Pain and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for Pain are unidimensional single-item scales that provide an estimate of patients' pain intensity. They are easy to administer, complete, and score.
Participants were asked to rate their worst pain, average pain, and least pain in the past week, and current pain, using each scale before moving on to the next. The participants were then asked to select the scale that they would prefer to use when asked to rate their pain intensity in the future.
The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between “no pain” and “worst pain.”
The visual analog scale (VAS) of pain intensity consists of a line, most often 100 mm long, with 2 descriptors representing extremes of pain intensity (eg, no pain and extreme pain) at each end.
The visual analogue scale (VAS) is commonly used as the outcome measure for such studies. It is usually presented as a 100-mm horizontal line on which the patient’s pain intensity is represented by a point between the extremes of “no pain at all” and “worst pain imaginable.”
We demonstrate the analysis of a published data set using a variety of methods, and use simulation to compare the power of the various methods to detect treatment differences, in differing pain situations.
Visual Analog Scale. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right (extreme pain). The patient is asked to mark their current pain level on the line. They can also be asked to mark their maximum, minimum, and average pain.
