McGill Pain Questionnaire

The McGill Pain Questionnaire is a tool that helps doctors understand the nature and intensity of a person's pain. It asks patients to describe their pain using words sorted into categories like throbbing, stabbing, or burning. Patients also rate how strong the pain feels. This detailed information helps healthcare providers identify the type of pain and its impact, guiding more targeted and effective treatment. It effectively captures both the quality and severity of pain, offering a comprehensive picture for better diagnosis and management.
