Background: Accurate quantification of pain in a clinical setting is vital. The use of an electronic pain scale enables data to be collected, analyzed, and utilized much faster compared with traditional paper-based scales. The advancement of smart technology in pediatric and adult pain evaluation may offer opportunities to introduce easy-to-use and reliable pain assessment methods within different clinical settings. If promptly introduced within different pediatric and adult pain clinic services, validated and easily accessible mobile health pain apps may lead to early pain detection, promoting improvement in patient’s quality of life and leading to potentially less time off from school or work. Objective: This cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the interchangeability of an electronic visual analog scale (eVAS) app with a traditional paper visual analog scale (pVAS) among Australian children, adolescents, and adults for pain evaluation. Methods: Healthy participants (age range 10-75 years) were recruited from a sporting club and a secondary school in Melbourne (Australia). The data collection process involved application of pressure (8.5 kg/cm2) from a Wagner Force Dial FDK 20 to the midpoint of the thumb. The pressure was applied twice with a 5-minute interval. At each pressure application, participants were asked to randomly record their pain perception using the “eVAS” accessible via the “Interactive Clinics” app and the traditional pVAS. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine intermethod and intramethod reliabilities. Results: Overall, 109 healthy participants were recruited. Adults (mean age 42.43 years, SD 14.50 years) had excellent reliability, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.94 (95% CI 0.91-0.96). Children and adolescents (mean age 13.91 years, SD 2.89 years) had moderate-to-good intermethod and intramethod reliabilities, with an ICC of 0.80 (95% CI 0.70-0.87) and average ICC of 0.80 (95% CI 0.69-0.87), respectively. Conclusions: The eVAS app appears to be interchangeable compared with the traditional pVAS among children, adolescents, and adults. This pain evaluation method may offer new opportunities to introduce user-friendly and validated pain assessment apps for patients, clinicians, and allied health professionals.

移动健康电子视觉模拟量表应用程序与用于疼痛评估的传统纸质视觉模拟量表的比较:跨部门观察研究。

背景:在临床环境中准确量化疼痛至关重要。与传统的纸质磅秤相比,使用电子疼痛磅秤可以更快地收集,分析和利用数据。儿科和成人疼痛评估中智能技术的进步可能为在不同临床环境中引入易于使用且可靠的疼痛评估方法提供了机会。如果在不同的儿科和成人疼痛诊所服务中迅速引入,经过验证且易于访问的移动健康疼痛应用程序可能会导致早期疼痛检测,从而改善患者的生活质量,并有可能减少放学或上班时间。目的:这项横断面观察性研究旨在调查电子视觉模拟量表(eVAS)应用程序与传统纸质视觉模拟量表(pVAS)在澳大利亚儿童,青少年和成人中的互换性,以评估疼痛。方法:从墨尔本(澳大利亚)一家体育俱乐部和一所中学招募健康参与者(年龄在10-75岁之间)。数据收集过程涉及从Wagner Force Dial FDK 20向拇指的中点施加压力(8.5 kg / cm2)。以5分钟的间隔两次施加压力。在每次施压时,要求参与者使用可通过“互动诊所”应用程序访问的“ eVAS”和传统的pVAS随机记录他们的疼痛感。进行统计分析以确定方法间和方法内的可靠性。结果:总共招募了109名健康参与者。成人(平均年龄42.43岁,SD 14.50岁)具有极好的可靠性,组内相关系数(ICC)为0.94(95%CI 0.91-0.96)。儿童和青少年(平均年龄13.91岁,标准差2.89岁)具有中等至良好的方法间和方法内可靠性,ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.70-0.87),平均ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.69-0.87) , 分别。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关健康专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。招募了109名健康参与者。成人(平均年龄42.43岁,SD 14.50岁)具有极好的可靠性,组内相关系数(ICC)为0.94(95%CI 0.91-0.96)。儿童和青少年(平均年龄13.91岁,标准差2.89岁)具有中等至良好的方法间和方法内可靠性,ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.70-0.87),平均ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.69-0.87) , 分别。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关医疗专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。招募了109名健康参与者。成人(平均年龄42.43岁,SD 14.50岁)具有极好的可靠性,组内相关系数(ICC)为0.94(95%CI 0.91-0.96)。儿童和青少年(平均年龄13.91岁,标准差2.89岁)具有中等至良好的方法间和方法内可靠性,ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.70-0.87),平均ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.69-0.87) , 分别。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关医疗专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。类内相关系数(ICC)为0.94(95%CI为0.91-0.96)。儿童和青少年(平均年龄13.91岁,标准差2.89岁)具有中等至良好的方法间和方法内可靠性,ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.70-0.87),平均ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.69-0.87) , 分别。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关健康专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。类内相关系数(ICC)为0.94(95%CI为0.91-0.96)。儿童和青少年(平均年龄13.91岁,标准差2.89岁)具有中等至良好的方法间和方法内可靠性,ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.70-0.87),平均ICC为0.80(95%CI 0.69-0.87) , 分别。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关健康专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。80(95%CI 0.69-0.87)。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关健康专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。80(95%CI 0.69-0.87)。结论:与传统的pVAS相比,eVAS应用程序在儿童,青少年和成人中似乎可以互换。这种疼痛评估方法可能会提供新的机会,为患者,临床医生和相关健康专业人员引入用户友好且经过验证的疼痛评估应用程序。
