Detailed description

The assessment and early diagnosis of pain is of great importance for pain management and treatment in patients with disorders of consciousness. The Nociception Coma Scale (- Revised) is only applicable to assess pain of DOC patients in international clinical setting. The aim of this study was to translate the NCS from English into Chinese and determine the validity of this Chinese version. To test internal reliability and inter-rater reliability, both rater A and rater B assess the perception of pain on day 1; and to obtain test-retest reliability, rater A assessed all patients repeatedly on day 2. 'Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability' (FLACC) was used to analysis concurrent validity by rater A.
