Patients were asked to indicate
their current level of pain on

This was repeated 30 minutes later
either by the same investigator
(50% of the cases) or by a different
examiner who was blinded to the
first assessment.
Comparative study: the SDS was
compared with VAS and NRS.
Reliability: Stability (S), Internal consistency (IC), Equivalence (E)
Validity: Face validity (FV), Content validity (CtV), Criterion validity (CrV), Construct validity (CsV)
