Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to measure the pain perceived by the person. In this scale, the individual can indicate their own pain by drawing a line, putting a dot, or pointing between the 10 cm (100 mm) section of the ruler where there is no pain (zero) on one end and the most severe pain on the other end. The distance from the point where there is no pain to the point marked by the individual is measured in centimeters and the value found indicates the individual\'s pain intensity. On the VAS scale, 0-44 mm indicates mild pain, 45-74 mm indicates moderate pain, and 75-100 mm reflects severe pain.

Time frame
12 week.
