Comparison of daily and weekly retrospectively reported pain intensity in patients with localized and generalized musculoskeletal pain
L Giske, L Sandvik, C Røe - European Journal of Pain, 2010 - Elsevier
The purpose of the study was to compare daily and weekly recalled pain intensity over time
and their correspondence with real-time pain intensity in patients with localized (LP) and
generalized (GP) musculoskeletal pain. Daily recalled pain, averaged over seven
consecutive days, and weekly recalled pain at day 8 were recorded on 100mm visual
analogue scales monthly over 4months for 40 LP and 50 GP patients. Multiple real-time pain
ratings on numerical rating scales (0–10) were averaged over the week for 23 LP and 33 GP …
