Bone pain was measured with the use of the Visual Analogue Scale on day 21 of cycle 4 (day 84). Bone pain was measured with the use of the Visual Analogue Scale. The visual analogue scale or visual analog scale (VAS) is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. The VAS for Bone Pain was constructed as follows: None Mild Moderate Severe Worst possible 1,2 3,4 5,6 7,8 9,10 Lower values are considered to be of a better outcome, higher values are considered to be of a worst outcome.
