Based on available evidence , the NRS-11 , FPS-R , and CAS were strongly recommended for self-report of acute pain .
Only weak recommendations could be made for self-report measures for postoperative and chronic pain .
No measures were recommended for children younger than 6 years , identifying a need for further measurement refinement in this age range .
Abstract In 2006 , PAIN published a systematic review of the measurement properties of self-report pain intensity measures  in children and adolescents ( Stinson JN , Kavanagh T , Yamada J , Gill N , Stevens B. Systematic review of the psychometric properties , interpretability and feasibility of self-report pain intensity measures for use in clinical trials in children and adolescents .
Key developments in pediatric pain necessitate an up date of this work , most notably growing use of the 11-point numeric rating scale ( NRS-11 ) .
Our aim was to review the measurement properties of single-item self-report pain intensity measures in children 3 to 18 years old .
A secondary aim was to develop evidence -based recommendations for measurement of child and adolescent self-report of acute , postoperative , and chronic pain .
Comparison of two pain scales in indian children
Objective . To compare the Faces Pain Scale and Color Analogue Scale among children aged 6–12 years undergoing selected procedures ( Venipuncture , Intravenous cannulation , Intramuscular injection , Lumbar puncture , Bone marrow aspiration )  and to compare the procedural pain in a child as perceived by the child , parents and health care professionals using the above mentioned scales Methods . This was a prospect i ve , descriptive correlational study of children aged 6–12 years , who had undergone selected procedures . Children were assessed for their pain severity using  Faces Pain Scale and Color Analogue Scale .  Parents and health care professionals also independently assessed the child 's pain using the same scales Results . 181 children who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study . There was a significant positive correlation ( r = > 0.8 ) between both the pain scales . There was fair to moderate positive correlation ( r = 0.29 to 0.58 ) of pain perception of child with parents and health care professionals Conclusions . Faces Pain Scale and Color Analogue Scales seem to be appropriate instruments for measuring pain intensity among Indian children aged 6–12 years undergoing selected
