- Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 July 2006
The neurobiology of itch, which is formally known as pruritus, and its interaction with pain have been illustrated by the complexity of specific mediators, itch-related neuronal pathways and the… Expand
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.
- N. Q. Phan, C. Blome, +6 authors S. Ständer
- Medicine
- Acta dermato-venereologica
- 1 September 2012
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… Expand
Visual analogue scale: evaluation of the instrument for the assessment of pruritus.
