What's a pain rating scale used for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain scale: This is a numerical scale from zero to ten. Based on the rating it allows us to develop a treatment plan and then use the scale to assess efficacy of treatment. It is quite accurate in acute pain but in chronic pain i find it quite useless.
