nausea severity scales

Nausea severity scales are tools used by healthcare providers to measure how intense a person’s nausea feels. They typically range from mild, where discomfort is minimal and easily manageable, to severe, where nausea is intense and may cause vomiting or weakness. These scales often ask patients to rate their nausea on a numerical scale, such as 0 (no nausea) to 10 (worst imaginable nausea). Using these scales helps doctors understand how bothersome the nausea is, monitor changes over time, and determine the effectiveness of treatments.
