TLDR
NRSs are applicable for unidimensional assessment of PI in most settings, and whether the variability in anchors and response options directly influences the numerical scores needs to be empirically tested.About:

A systematic review of the pain scales in adults: Which to use?
TL;DR: All three scales are valid, reliable and appropriate for use in clinical practice, although the VAS is more difficulties than the others, and for general purposes the NRS has good sensitivity and generates data that can be analysed for audit purposes.

TL;DR: P acetamol is ineffective in the treatment of low back pain and provides minimal short term benefit for people with osteoarthritis, and these results support the reconsideration of recommendations to use paracetamol for patients with low backPain and osteOarthritis of the hip or knee in clinical practice guidelines.

TL;DR: The Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has an ongoing effort to create evidence-based practice guidelines for orthopedic physical therapy management of patients with musculoskeletal impairments described in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Test-retest reliability, validity, and minimum detectable change of visual analog, numerical rating, and verbal rating scales for measurement of osteoarthritic knee pain.
TL;DR: All the three scales had excellent test–retest reliability, however, the VAS was the most reliable, with the smallest errors in the measurement of OA knee pain.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

The McGill Pain Questionnaire: major properties and scoring methods.
TL;DR: The McGill Pain Questionnaire as discussed by the authors consists of three major classes of word descriptors (sensory, affective and evaluative) that are used by patients to specify subjective pain experience.

The McGill Pain Questionnaire: major properties and scoring methods.
TL;DR: The data indicate that the McGill Pain Questionnaire provides quantitative information that can be treated statistically, and is sufficiently sensitive to detect differences among different methods to relieve pain.

Clinical importance of changes in chronic pain intensity measured on an 11-point numerical pain rating scale
TL;DR: Using a standard outcome across chronic pain studies would greatly enhance the comparability, validity, and clinical applicability of these studies, and the application of these results to future studies may provide a standard definition of clinically important improvement in clinical trials of chronic pain therapies.
