What Is a Visual Analogue Scale?

Visual Analogue Scale / Score (VAS): This method is more sensitive and comparable. The specific method is: draw a 10 cm horizontal line on the paper, one end of the horizontal line is 0, indicating no pain; the other end is 10, indicating severe pain; the middle part indicates different levels of pain. Ask the patient to draw a mark on the horizontal line based on their feelings, indicating the degree of pain. The average of mild pain was 2.57 ± 1.04; the average of moderate pain was 5.18 ± 1.41; the average of severe pain was 8.41 ± 1.35 [1].
