Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a validated tool for quantifying patient-reported pruritus.1, 2
It is based on a simple assessment of pruritus from 0 (no pruritus) to 10 (worst pruritus imaginable).1
The NRS score correlates well with the severity of the disease:1

Atopic Dermatitis Control Test (ADCT)
Atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, may be affecting your patient’s life in more ways than you know.
The ADCT gives a measure of how controlled your patient’s eczema is. Use these 6 concise questions to evaluate all dimensions of atopic dermatitis control.
Development of ADCT involved literature review as well as interviews with patients and physicians, and was funded by Sanofi and Regeneron.
