  - "Background\r\nChronic pruritus (CP) is a subjective symptom, and it is necessary
    to assess its intensity with validated patient-reported outcome tools in order
    to allow determination of the treatment course.\r\n\r\nObjectives\r\nSo far, the
    itch intensity scales were validated in small cohorts and in single languages.
    Here, we report the validation of the numerical rating scale, the verbal rating
    scale and the visual analogue scale for the worst and average pruritus intensity
    in the last 24h in several languages across Europe and across different pruritic
    dermatoses.\r\n\r\nMethods\r\nAfter professional translation, the intensity scales
    were digitized for use as a tablet computer application. Validation was performed
    in clinics for Dermatology in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia,
    Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.\r\n\r\nResults\r\nA total of 547 patients with
    contact dermatitis, chronic nodular prurigo, psoriasis vulgaris, lichen planus
    or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma were included. The intensity scales showed a high
    level of reproducibility and inter-correlations with each other. The correlation
    with the Dermatology Life Quality Index was weak to strong in nearly all countries
    and dermatoses with the exception of France and patients with chronic nodular
    prurigo, for which no statistically significant correlations were found.\r\n\r\nConclusions\r\nThe
    numerical rating scale, the verbal rating scale und the visual analogue scales
    are valid instruments with good reproducibility and internal consistency in German
    (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and
    Turkish for different pruritic dermatoses. VAS worst was the best reproducible
    and consistent measuring instrument in all countries.@eng"
