'''Pain scales''' are [[Scale (social sciences)|scales]] used to measure the intensity of a [[patient]]'s [[pain]], using pictures, words, numbers or colors. Pain may be evaluated as a single measure (intensity only) or using several measures (duration and intensity); the Brief Pain Inventory uses an interview to assess how pain affects the ability to function in daily life.
