Unidimensional Pain Scale

The Unidimensional Pain Scale is a simple tool used to measure how much pain a person is feeling. It usually involves asking individuals to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. This helps healthcare providers understand the severity of a patient's discomfort and monitor changes over time. The scale focuses solely on the intensity of pain, providing a quick, straightforward way to assess and communicate pain levels effectively.
