针灸感觉被认为是产生针灸治疗效果的关键。马萨诸塞州总医院针灸感觉量表（MASS）是针灸研究中经常使用的测量针灸感觉的量表。我们根据Beaton的指南将MASS翻译成日语（日语MASS）。30位艺术家评估了日本MASS中12个描述符的相关性和意义。12个描述符中有10个的内容效度比为0.33或更高。42名健康受试者然后使用日本MASS评估在LI4处手动针刺诱发的针刺感觉。Cronbach的α为0.86。MASS总分与麦吉尔疼痛问卷总分、MASS指数与感觉视觉模拟评分的相关系数分别为0.78和0.80。因子分析将12个描述符加载到两个有意义的因子上。本研究证明日本MASS具有良好的信度、内容效度、效标关联效度和结构效度。因此，日本MASS是用于日本人群的有效和可靠的工具。
Acupuncture sensations are considered essential in producing the treatment effect of acupuncture. The Massachusetts General Hospital Acupuncture Sensation Scale (MASS) is a frequently used scale in acupuncture research to measure acupuncture sensations. We translated the MASS into Japanese (Japanese MASS) based on Beaton's guidelines. 30 acupuncturists evaluated the relevancy and meaning of the 12 descriptors included in the Japanese MASS. The content validity ratios for 10 of the 12 descriptors were 0.33 or greater. 42 healthy subjects then evaluated acupuncture sensations evoked by manual acupuncture at LI4 using the Japanese MASS. Cronbach's alpha was 0.86. The correlation coefficient of total MASS scores and total Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire scores and MASS indices and sensory visual analogue scores were 0.78 and 0.80, respectively. Factor analysis loaded the 12 descriptors onto two meaningful factors. This study demonstrated that the Japanese MASS has good reliability, content validity, criterion-related validity, and construct validity. Therefore, the Japanese MASS is a valid and reliable instrument for use with Japanese populations.
