Pain Assessment Tool

A pain assessment tool is a method used by healthcare providers to measure and understand a person's pain. It helps to determine how intense the pain is, where it’s located, and how it affects daily life. Common tools include scales, where you rate your pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable), and questionnaires that explore different aspects of your discomfort. This information helps doctors develop a personalized treatment plan and track changes in pain over time, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care.
