Study Summary

Pediatric research in the management of nausea has been limited by the absence of a reliable method to quantify the intensity of this subjective symptom. In adults, the visual analog scale (VAS) is an accurate tool, but this has not been shown to be reliable in young children. By default the most common objective outcome measure used in pediatric studies has been the incidence and number of emetic episodes. This measure, however, correlates poorly with the somatic subjective symptom of nausea.

Primary Outcome

To measure pain and nausea, subjects completed the VAS and two pictorial scales (Faces Pain Scale-Revised for pain and BARF for nausea). The VAS uses a horizontal 10cm line with the extremes of "no pain at all" and "worst pain imaginable". The subject marks on the line their pain rating. Higher points indicate more severe or intense pain. FACES scale has 6 faces with assigned scores ranging from 0 to 10 with a score difference of 2 between each face (a higher score indicates more pain). The BARF
