Assessment of nociceptive pain involves a comprehensive evaluation using various methods:
Patient History: Obtain detailed information about the onset, duration, location, intensity, and character of the pain. Pain Scales: Utilize pain assessment tools like the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), or Faces Pain Scale (FPS) to quantify pain intensity. Physical Examination: Conduct a thorough physical exam to identify any signs of injury, inflammation, or other conditions that might be causing the pain.
