TLDR
Findings indicate VRSs of pain severity cannot necessarily be assumed to measure only pain intensity; they may also reflect patient perceptions about pain interference and beliefs about their pain.Abstract:
SummaryReliable and valid measures of pain intensity are needed to accurately evaluate the efficacy of pain treatments. Perhaps with the exception of faces pain intensity scales, which are thought to reflect both pain intensity and pain affect, the other most commonly used pain intensity scales—Numeread more

The validity of pain intensity measures: what do the NRS, VAS, VRS, and FPS-R measure?
TL;DR: The VAS appears to be most similar to the NRS and less influenced by non-pain intensity factors than the VRS or FPS-R, and should be kept in mind when selecting pain measures and interpreting the results of research studies using these scales.

Mechanisms of chronic pain - key considerations for appropriate physical therapy management
TL;DR: Interventions for patients with chronic pain should be applied based on current knowledge of nociceptive mechanisms since determining potential drivers of the sensitization process is critical for effective management.

The measurement of clinical pain intensity: a comparison of six methods.
TL;DR: The results indicate that, for the present sample, the scales yield similar results in terms of the number of subjects who respond correctly to them and their predictive validity, however, when considering the remaining 3 criteria, the 101‐point numerical rating scale appears to be the most practical index.
