Pain and Pain Measurement Scales

This book provides an insight about pain and subjective scales that are used to measure pain. Fear of pain is the most vulnerable cause that deters most of the children from seeking dental care. Young children are often unable to explain the intensity of pain and therefore it is of utmost importance for the clinician to identify and measure the pain. Subjective pain measurement scales serve as an useful guide towards pain management in clinical situations and also provides a detailed database for research studies in pain measurement.
