Pro
features a visual analogue scale, also referred to as the pain scale.
The pain scale is commonly used in pain therapy.
The pain scale is used to measure the patient's subjective pain intensity.
The patient rates the current pain intensity on a scale from 0 – 10, whereby
by 0 = "no pain" and 10 = "the worst pain imaginable".
The measurement is carried out before and after each treatment.
With repeated documentation, this method gives a preliminary overview of the
temporal progress and success of a treatment.
