The Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR): validation and psychometric properties (2009, unknown): “Our favorable experience with the use of a numeric rating scale compared to continuous VAS scoring reflects the experience of several other groups [21,22,23] and is in line with the recommendations of the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) [24].”
Interval-level measurement with visual analogue scales in Internet-based research: VAS Generator (2008, unknown): “With the rise of Internet-based research, VASs have become a measurement device that could be used widely without practical drawbacks ( Couper, Tourangeau, Conrad, & Singer, 2006; Funke & Reips, 2006).”
