Abstract/free full access: Comparison of numerical and verbal rating scales to measure pain exacerbations in patients with chronic cancer pain
Background
Numerical rating scales (NRS), and verbal rating scales (VRS) showed to be reliable and valid tools for subjective cancer pain measurement, but no one of them consistently proved to be superior to the other. Aim of the present study is to compare NRS and VRS performance in assessing breakthrough or episodic pain (BP-EP) exacerbations.
