Pain Rating Scale

The Pain Rating Scale is a tool used to help people describe how much pain they are experiencing. Usually, it involves a simple number system, such as 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. This scale helps healthcare providers understand your pain level more accurately and track changes over time. Sometimes, visual aids like face charts or words are used for those who find numbers difficult. It’s a useful way to communicate your pain in a clear, consistent manner.
