Explanation:
NAS = numerische Analogskala

See
http://www.schmerzkreis.net/fragen/anamnese.htm
"Die Stärke Ihrer Schmerzen können wir nicht objektiv beurteilen. Wir bitten Sie deshalb Ihre subjektive Schmerzstärke auf einer ***numerischen Analogskala (NAS)*** zu schätzen. Dazu werden Sie gebeten, auf einer Skala von 0 (schmerzfrei) bis 10 (stärkste vorstellbare Schmerzen) anzugeben, wie stark Ihre Schmerzen momentan sind. Im Verlauf der Behandlung werden Sie immer wieder gebeten, die Stärke Ihrer Schmerzen auf diese Weise einzuschätzen. Bei der Beurteilung der Schmerzintensität muß jedoch berücksichtigt werden, daß die Schmerzempfindung ein ganz persönliches Erlebnis ist und immer ganz individuell behandelt werden muß."

"Pain as primary endpoint was rated by the patient on an 11-step ***numerical analogue scale***."

"All five patients reported significant pain relief at initial application and wished to continue treatment. The average ***numerical analogue scale (NAS)*** score preapplication was 8.8. The average 15 minutes post application ***NAS*** was 1.6. Patients reported alterations in temperature sensation, feelings of relaxation and decreased tension in the area of application, and pain relief. Reduction in numerical pain scores postapplication of ketamine gel ranged from 53-100% using a 1-10 numerical pain intensity scale."
