The VAS graph on the SuperVAS display monitor of the present patient showing the transition of the pain intensities experienced during motion (circles and solid line) and during rest (squares and hashed lines). Treatments are represented below the graph as horizontal bars.. Notes: The VAS score of pain during motion increased from 85 to 100 mm after the first visit until day 5. The VAS score of pain during rest also increased to 100 mm at day 5. The VAS score began to decrease after pharmacotherapy with celecoxib and pregabalin, and physical and educational therapies.. Abbreviations: VAS, visual analog scale; CRPS1, complex regional pain syndrome type I; NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

A graph showing the history of VAS score of pain during motion of the present patient (thick line) and 18 pediatric patients with ankle sprain in our clinic who presented a standard clinical course (thin lines).. Notes: The unique difference is apparent for the present patient in the transition of VAS score in that he showed an increase (arrows) in the second and third visit within a week after the first visit, while other patients showed a marked early decrease in their VAS score.. Abbreviation: VAS, visual analog scale.
