Patient Satisfaction with CAM Scale
The PSCS is a patient-report instrument measuring satisfaction with complementary and alternative medicine services, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, and other modalities. Developed by Margolis and colleagues in 1998, it captures dimensions of satisfaction specific to CAM practice—practitioner communication, efficacy expectations, cost concerns, and interpersonal warmth.
