VAS Pain Score
diagnosticThe VAS pain score, or visual analogue scale, is a simple tool for rating how much pain you feel, from 0 for no pain to 10 for the worst pain imaginable. You mark a point on a line or choose a number. Recording the score at each visit gives a consistent way to track how pain changes during treatment.
