Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side-Effect Rating Scale
Self-report scale for monitoring neuroleptic medication side effects.
Last updated
The Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side Effect Rating Scale (LUNSERS) is a self-report questionnaire for monitoring side effects of neuroleptic or antipsychotic medications. It uses a check-tick format with a scale from 'not at all' to 'very much' across 51 items, including red herrings to detect over-rating. The tool was originally proposed to demonstrate the robustness of self-reporting.
