From the article: Finding Your Pain Number: Which Pain Scale is Best?
On my rehabilitation unit, we use pain scales every day. The one we use the most often is the numerical pain rating scale (the NRS), likely for it's convenience. It's easy to ask someone to pick a number, and then to write it down for later reference. Provided, of course, that you remember to write it down!
I believe everyone has a personal favorite when it comes to pain scales, or at least one they use the most often. What's yours, and why?
