Protocol - Pain Intensity - Child
Description
This protocol consists of a single interviewer-administered question for children aged 4- to 12-years-old assessing acute pain intensity. The item is measured on an 11-point scale. This protocol was validated in individuals aged 4- to 12-years-old.
Specific Instructions
The Sickle Cell Disease Pain Working Group notes that numeric rating scales (NRS) can be used for children as young as 8 years. For studies that include older children and a mix of children and adults, the NRS might be preferable to provide continuity.

Protocol
Faces Pain Scale - Revised (FPS-R)
The FPS-R shows a set of faces indicating how much pain they are in. The left side shows a face with no pain. From left to right, the faces indicate increasing levels of pain until the far right, which shows a high amount of pain. Each face has a score associated with it.
Personnel and Training Required
The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews. The interviewer should be trained to prompt respondents further if a "dont know" response is provided.
Equipment Needs
The PhenX Working Group acknowledges these questions can be administered in a computerized or noncomputerized format (i.e., paper-and-pencil instrument). Computer software is necessary to develop computer-assisted instruments. The interviewer will require a laptop computer or handheld computer to administer a computer-assisted questionnaire.

Selection Rationale
The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) has been tested and found to be reliable and comparable to established measures of the same content areas. It is quick and easy to administer via paper and pencil or electronically. It captures preschool-aged children. Additionally, it has been validated in chronic, acute, and procedural patient populations.
