Spanish term

VAS

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals clinical study
This appears after the term "Escala de Evaluacion del dolor" in a clinical study for a rheumatoid arthritis drug in Argentina. The section is referring to the items that have been approved at a recent Ethics Committee meeting. Is it referring perhaps to the acronym in English for the survey? Thanks!!!
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 Visual Analogue Scale
4 +2 VAS - Visual Analogue Scale

VAS - Visual Analogue Scale

Hi Justin,

Yes, it's the English acronym as we discussed in the other thread.

I would translate this sentence as:
"Pain Assessment Scale (VAS - Visual Analogue Scale)"
