Sensation Ratings for Pain at 16, 24, and 36 mm Hg Distension

The mm Hg distensions refer to the barostat balloon, which was placed in the mid-descending or junction of the sigmoid and descending colon. Pain sensation was measured by a 100 mm long Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS does not have any pre-set marks between the extremes. For the pain VAS, 0 means no pain and 100 mm means extreme pain. The investigator measures the mark made by the participant in mm and records this for the value of pain. (NCT01094808)

Portland Neurotoxicity Scale (PNS) at V6

"The PNS is a 15-item scale. Each item can be scored from 1 to 9. There are a total score (includes all items, range:15 to 135) and two subscores: The cognitive toxicity subscore (10 items: Energy Level, Memory, Interest, Concentration, Forgetfulness, Sleepliness, Moodiness, Alertness, Attention Span, Motivation, range:10 to 90) and the somatomoto subscore (5 items: Vision, Walking, Coordination, Tremor, Speech, range:5-45).

These scores were combined to a total score by Total score = seizure worry*0.08 + overall quality of life*0.14 + emotional well-being*0.15 + energy/fatigue*0.12 + cognitive functioning*0.27 + medication effects*0.03 + social functioning*0.21 For all scores, higher values indicate better quality of life. Each score has a possible range from 0 to 100. (NCT00438451)

Psychological Functioning as Evaluated by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) Between Treatment and Placebo Groups

The Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI 18) is designed with reliability in mind. The BSI 18 assessment gathers patient-reported data to help measure psychological distress and psychiatric disorders in medical and community populations. As the latest in an integrated series of test instruments that include the SCL-90-R®, BSI® (53 questions), and DPRS® instruments, the BSI 18 test offers a more effective, easy-to-administer tool to help support clinical decision-making and monitor progress throughout treatment. BSI-18 measures three dimensions with 6 questions a piece (somatization , depression , anxiety) and overall psychological distress scores (Global severity index, GSI). Each of the 18 items range from a score of 0-4; total score ranges from 0-72 with higher scores indicating worse function. The GSI score is calculated as the mean of the three subscales. The study reported the GSI score. Higher score is worse. (NCT01265056)
