Pain intensity is of valuable diagnostic information, and we ask patients to evaluate how strong their pain feels. A simple and quick way is to ask the patient to assess pain intensity on a scale of 0–10 (verbal analogue scale, where 0 means no pain at all, and 10 the most excruciating pain imagined).
