pain chart
Suffering measurement tool
A pain chart is a visual tool used in medical settings to help patients communicate their level of discomfort, typically featuring a numbered scale from zero to ten or a series of facial expressions ranging from calm to agonized.
Nurses and doctors use pain charts to track symptoms over time and guide treatment decisions: The nurse asked me to point to where I was on the pain chart.
