Good correlation was shown between pain scores derived from 4 different rating scales [in patients with rheumatic disease.] The correlation was maintained when presentation of the scales was separated by a series of questions and by physical examination. There is good evidence that the 4 scales were measuring the same underlying pain variable. An 11-point (0-10) numerical rating scale may perform better than both a 4-point simple descriptive scale or a continuous (visual analog) scale.
