How does one weigh up physical spasm?
Who sets the pain scale?
Answers:
Hospitals usually scale patients pain using the patients own tolerance of misery .they will ask a patient to rate the level of pain on a ascend of one to ten then administer more or less or even a different painkiller consequently ask you to rate the new pain level not an exact science but a key indicator of a patients tolerance too pain
1. severity of pain on a scale of 1 to 10,
- 1 being the least possible painful
- 10 being the most severe
2. location of the pain
- eg: abdominal, leg, chest, commander...
3. type of pain
- eg: sharp, dull, throbbing...
4. frequency of pain
- eg: constant, every 10 mins, on and off...
if merciful is unable to verbalise the pain score (1-10), a frontage chart is used, whereby its shown to the patient and the patient will "make" the face that most describes the dull pain.
also, this is used
Onset of pain
Location of pain
Duration of pain
Characteristics of twinge (eg: burning, throbbing, sharp, dull...)
Aggravating factors
Relieving factors (eg: willapplying pressure make it smaller number painful?)
Treatment
sometimes, R can also stand for "Radiation", how the pain spreads, the area of cramp...

Yourself, everyone has different dull pain thresholds. Terminal cancer 10....toothache 1, got it?
I think that pain can merely be measured depending on how much we can take befor our body takes over and makes the torment stop ( be that by pulling away or what ever to alliviate the pain )
You know how much pain u can take but thats the item. We think that, that is our pain mount but it isnt. It should be done based on how much pain u can take when someone else is inflicting it. because later we arent pushing ourself to the pain max, rather we are seeing how much our body naturally react to suprise and on the spot pain.
hope i helped

That's a question no one can answer. One man's niggle is another man's pleasure.

GO TO WALMART AND GET A MEDICAL RULER.
There is no objective dolorimeter, so the best path to measure is to ask your patient. Since I'm in emergency prescription, I used to go to great lengths to ask my patients about the stratum of their pain, and treated it aggressively. Nowadays, Joint Commission and Uncle Sam have stuck their noses within, so the job of pain control, with its 100 mm lines, 10-point spasm scales, and smiley/frowny faces, has made it much more difficult to do so, and I'm less effectual, but still trying.
the pain frontage chart doctors use google it it will have its regulator
