Using visual analogue scales, the participants rated the affective quality of the picture.

Our study confirms the reliability and validity of the visual analogue scale in short term trials.

Reips and Funke (2008) show that this criterion is much better met by a visual analogue scale.

As shown in the Figure, the correlation between the echographic measurements of gastric emptying and the visual analogue scale was excellent.

The Visual Analogue Scale for Aversion, Fear, and Anxiety were used.

Presurgery distress was measured by the visual analogue scale and the short version of the Profile of Mood States.

A visual analogue scale (VAS) is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires.

The Borg scale can be compared to other linear scales such as the Likert scale or a visual analogue scale.

Also, the weighting of QALYs through time-trade-off, standard gamble, or visual analogue scale is highly subjective.

Oxygen saturation, respiratory effort, respiratory rate, and the visual analogue scale for dyspnoea were all significantly better with oxygen than with air.

To determine emotional responses to the medical devices, the researchers used the validated Visual analogue scale where 0 denotes lowest response and 10 shows the strongest response.

Patient diaries - Every patient was given a diary containing a page of 10 cm visual analogue scales for baseline and each of the next 24 weeks.

Lees N, Lloyd-Williams M: Assessing depression in palliative care patients using the visual analogue scale: a pilot study.

The recent advances in methodologies for Internet-based research (e.g. ) include the development and evaluation of visual analogue scales for use in Internet-based questionnaires.

There is evidence showing that visual analogue scales have superior metrical characteristics than discrete scales, thus a wider range of statistical methods can be applied to the measurements.

In humans, evaluation of Surrogate endpoints like electroretinography, auditory evoked potentials and visual analogue scales also suggested positive nootropic effects, but larger studies with hard endpoints are missing.

Use of visual analogue scale measurements (VAS) to assess the effectiveness of standardized Andrographis paniculata extract SHA-10 in reducing the symptoms of common cold.

Visual analogue scale (VAS): Respondents are asked to rate a state of ill health on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 representing being dead and 100 representing perfect health.

The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'.

The main aim of this study was to determine whether there was a correlation between postprandial gastric volume measured by echography and the sensations of hunger and satiety evaluated by a validated visual analogue scale.

When initiating or titrating analgesics, it is not necessary to traverse each step of the model sequentially; a patient with severe pain (7-10/10 on a numerical or visual analogue scale - NAS or VAS) may need to have step 3 opioids from the outset.
