- Brief Summary
The p-VAS and e-VAS were compared and examined as methods of assessing pain associated with endometriosis. The Brandt-Altman plot analysis showed that the p-VAS and e-VAS are highly consistent as methods for evaluating pain associated with endometriosis. The validity of the e-VAS as an alternative method to the p-VAS, which is based on the principle of 100 mm actual size, was confirmed in the evaluation of pain associated with endometriosis.
