The most common pain scales include: Numerical rating scales (NRS) Visual analog scales (VAS) Wong-Baker FACES pain scale Numerical rating scales Numerical rating scales Numerical rating scales use numbers to rate pain and are used in people 9 years of age and older. You are asked to verbally...
The Ambulation Index scale is a reproducible measure of lower limb disability.9,10 Mri and ms: an introduction Magnetic resonance imaging uses a magnetic field to align all hydrogen nuclei within body tissue in the same direction. A radiofrequency pulse sequence is applied to the tissue to push...
We assessed pain using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Stress was assessed with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) questionnaire and the serum cortisol levels. Additionally, we analyzed inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Results: ...
PD-Q: Pain Detect Questionnaire; NRS: Numerical Rating Scale; T0: examination prior to start treatment with PEALUT; T60: examination after 60 days of treatment with PEALUT; T90: examination after 90 days of treatment with PEALUT. The decrease in pain intensity was statistically significant ...
The overall findings show that the AHTPS, already validated for use in the paediatric A&E department, (6) is most promising for developing a pain treatment algorithm. We suggest implementing a combination of the NRS pain scale, NRS anxiety scale and the AHTPS in the ED triage system. The...

Background and purpose Low back pain (LBP) is a lifelong problem for many. In acute episodes, or as a persistent condition, LBP is fluctuating in nature, with pain and other features of the condition varying in intensity and duration over time. Symptom f
A tool to assess nutritional status in older persons was really needed. It took 5 years to design the MNA® (Mini Nutrition Assessment) tool, complete
This chapter discusses interoceptive sensibility, i.e., the self-reported dimension of interoception. Perceived sensibility to interoceptive cues is determined by the sensibility of internal signals and attentiveness to them; both aspects show considerab
