How do you Measure Pain?

It is virtually impossible to measure a person's pain objectively. Most experts say that the best way to find out how much pain a person is enduring is by a subjective pain report. A comprehensive assessment of pain should include:

• The identification of all the pains. This must include the most important ones.
• The site, quality, and radiation of pain
• What factors aggravate and relieve the pain

• When the pain occurs throughout the day

• What impact the pain has on the person's function

• What impact the pain has on the person's mood

• The sufferers' understanding of their pain

There are many different methods for measuring pain and its severity.
