Dolorskaloj, also known as pain scales, are tools used to measure and quantify the intensity of pain experienced by an individual. These scales are essential in medical and psychological assessments, as well as in research studies. The most commonly used pain scale is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), where patients mark a line to indicate their pain level, ranging from "no pain" to "worst possible pain." Another widely used scale is the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which asks patients to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) is a more detailed scale that assesses various dimensions of pain, including sensory, affective, and evaluative components. These scales help healthcare providers understand the severity of pain, tailor treatment plans, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions. They are also valuable in clinical trials and epidemiological studies to standardize pain reporting and improve patient outcomes.
