The McGill Pain Questionnaire

The McGill Pain Questionnaire is a tool used by doctors and researchers to assess a person's pain experience. It consists of a list of words describing different types of pain, allowing individuals to choose those that best match their sensations. Respondents also rate the intensity of their pain. This helps healthcare providers understand not just the level of pain, but also its quality and impact on daily life. By using this questionnaire, professionals can better tailor treatments and interventions to address a patient's specific pain experience.
