A Computer-Based Visual Analog Scale,

1992
Abstract : Although substantial literature exists on visual analog scales (VAS), much is directed toward the clinical assessment of pain. As part of a Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (NAMRL) effort to investigate the chronopharmacokinetics of methamphetamine during simulated sustained flight operations we developed a computerized VAS to ...

A visual analog scale for measuring dental fluorosis severity

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2005
To date, no continuous scale exists for measuring the severity of dental fluorosis (DF).The authors developed and validated a visual analog scale (VAS) for DF. They tested the scale in clinical (DF-endemic area) and laboratory settings.Dentists and nondentists (23 per group) were asked to grade the DF severity in photographs of 23 anterior teeth with ...

Maximum pain on visual analog scales in spinal disorders

The Spine Journal, 2017
Determining pain intensity is largely dependent on the patient's report.The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients initially reporting a pain score of 10 out of 10 on the visual analog scale (VAS) would experience symptom improvement to a degree similar to patients reporting milder pain.This study is a retrospective chart ...

Visual Analog Scales, Standard Gambles, and Relative Risk Aversion

Medical Decision Making, 2001
Background. It has been argued that visual analog scales (VASs) elicit an individual’s measurable value function. The theoretical link between an individual’s measurable value function v(.) and his or her von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function u(.) appears to provide a justification for transforming VAS scores into standard gamble (SG) utilities ...

Predicting Preoperative Hemodynamic Changes Using the Visual Analog Scale

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 2015
This study aimed to investigate how both visual analog scale cutoff scores and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores relate to hemodynamic changes in patients entering the operating theater.A prospective observational study.The study subjects included 130 prospectively enrolled patients who were scheduled for abdominal surgery under combined epidural ...

Analysis of subjective knee complaints using visual analog scales

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1991
A questionnaire using a system of visual analog scales was developed for analyzing subjective knee com plaints. This system was tested on 117 consecutive patients who had undergone knee surgery and 65 patients at their initial office evaluation of a knee disor der.

Adherence Analysis Using Visual Analog Scale Versus Claims-Based Estimation

Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2007
Although visual analog scales (VAS) have been used frequently in outcomes research, there is little evidence regarding the validity of this scale for measuring medication adherence.To determine whether a VAS self-report measure of medication adherence is concordant with claims-based measurement of adherence.A mail survey was conducted in 2005 of ...

[A visual analog scale of exercise dyspnea].

Revue des maladies respiratoires, 1991
We have adapted a visual analogue scale (VAS) to make repeated measurements of the sensation of dyspnoea during an exercise test on a bicycle ergometer. We tested the reproducibility of the development of the VAS as a function of work load and its sensitivity in detecting changes in the sensation of dyspnoea induced by the addition of an inspiratory ...

Evaluation of Epithelialization: Fluorescence Visualization Versus Manchester Scar Scale Versus Visual Analog Scale

Annals of Plastic Surgery
Abstract With the recent advancement in wound dressings based on regenerative medicine, there is an increasing demand for the development of an objective wound-healing evaluation method. In this article, we investigated the donor site of the split-thickness skin graft using Illumiscan (Matsukaze, Kyoto, Japan), a fluorescence visualization ...
