title: [The agony of rubbish to clinicians].
abstract: The clinician is at the crossroad between scientific information and some rubbish presentations of low level communication. In this background, searching for objectivity is mandatory in clinical trials. We summarize the main aspects of assessment on nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale as well as on structured and non structured scales.
