Abstract: Objective: To investigate the efficiency and validity of five fingers pain score model among the patients with herpes zoster. Methods: The pain degree in patients with?herpes zoster was assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Five Fingers Pain Score Model (FFPSM). The assessment duration and preference of NRS, VAS and FFPSM was compared. Results: Sixty aged patients with herpes zoster were collected. The evolution validity of FFPSM was in accordance with NRS and VAS. The assessment duration of FFPSM, NRS and VAS were 42±12.8s, 38±9.2s and 67±16.2s, the preference rate was 58%, 20% and 22% respectively. Conclusions: FFPSM is simple and practical in the pain assessment of herpes zoster.
