Visual analog scales (VAS) are one of the most frequently used measurement scales in health care research. The VAS is most commonly known and used for measurement of pain.1,2,3 However, it can be used to measure the perception of a variety of stimuli, such as emotional distress and nausea4, quality of voice samples5, and recall and recognition of material in an educational presentation6. Despite the popularity of the VAS, it is sometimes misused. This is the first in a series on the visual analog scale. The purpose of this article is to describe the basic construction, use, and analysis of the VAS.

Visual Analog Scales measure the intensity or magnitude of sensations and subjective feelings, and the relative strength of attitudes and opinions about specific stimuli.
