The document discusses different types of pain scales used to measure pain intensity or features in patients. It provides examples of pain scales for infants, children, and adults, including the Faces Pain Scale-Revised used for children, the FLACC scale used for children ages 2 months to 7 years, the Brief Pain Inventory used in clinical trials and research, and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Pain scales are based on self-report, observation, or physiology and aim to properly assess and communicate a patient's pain experience.

2. Painscale
 A pain scale measures a patient's pain intensity or
other features.
 Pain scales are based on self-report, observational
(behavioral), or physiological data.
 Self-report is considered primary and should be
obtained if possible.
 Pain scales are available for neonates, infants,
children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and persons
whose communication is impaired.
 Pain assessments are often regarded as "the 5th Vital
Sign"

3. Examplesof
painscales
 1. INFANT:
 Premature Infant Pain Profile; Neonatal/Infant Pain Scale
 2. CHILD:
 Faces Pain Scale – Revised
 Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale
 Coloured Analogue Scale
 FLACC (Face Legs Arms Cry Consolability Scale)
 CHEOPS (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain
Scale)
 3. ADULT:
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
 Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS)
 Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS)
 Brief Pain Inventory

4. FACESPAIN
SCALE–
REVISED
 It is a self-report measure of pain intensity developed
for children.
 It was adapted from the Faces Pain Scale to make it
possible to score the sensation of pain on the widely
accepted 0-to-10 metric

5. FLACCSCALE
 The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability
scale or FLACC scale is a measurement used to
assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months
and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate
their pain.
 The scale is scored in a range of 0–10 with 0 representing
no pain.
 The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a
score of 0, 1 or 2

7. BRIEFPAIN
INVENTORY
 BPI rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact
on functioning.
 The BPI has been translated into dozens of languages,
and it is widely used in both research and clinical
settings.
 The BPI is available in two formats:
 BPI short form, which is used for clinical trials and is
the version used for the foreign-language translations;
and
 BPI long form, which contains additional descriptive
items that may be clinically useful (for example, items
that expand the possible descriptors of pain, such as
burning, tingling, etc.)
