[edit] Trim

I've trimmed out a lot of the pain scales - I tried to leave only referenced scales that had pubmed sources, and only sources that were 'validations' rather than just mentioning the scale was used. Notable and widely-used scales should be validated in peer-reviewed journals in some way, while the ones that are only used by a couple doctors or hospitals probably shouldn't be here. Of course, it's a tricky subject and call to make, and I could have made errors. All the {{verify}} bullets I searched on pubmed and google scholar for a relevant article and removed the ones that didn't seem to have one. WLU (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
