Revised Faces Pain Scale

The Revised Faces Pain Scale is a tool used to help people communicate how much pain they are experiencing. It shows a series of facial expressions ranging from a happy face (no pain) to a very distressed face (worst pain). Patients point to the face that best matches their pain level, making it easier to express discomfort, especially for children or those who have difficulty describing their pain verbally. The scale provides a visual and straightforward way for healthcare providers to understand and assess pain intensity, guiding better pain management.
