Validation of the Hanyang Pain Scale for clerical workers with musculoskeletal pain

Conclusion: The newly developed HPS has high reliability and strong agreement with other currently widely used scales. In particular, HPS was more consistent than the VAS for relatively weak pain. Based on these findings, the HPS can be considered a useful pain assessment tool for clerical workers. Further clinical research on musculoskeletal diseases and on workers in other fields is required. Keywords: clerical workers, Hanyang Pain Scale, pain assessment, pain scale
