Lay abstract Pain is an unpleasant experience for patients, and it is useful for physicians to try to measure how much pain the patient is experiencing. Some scales used by physicians include faces with different expressions to represent various amounts of pain. Rasch modeling is a mathematical approach to develop better scales. In this study, the researchers performed two surveys in order to develop and improve a new scale for measuring pain: the BalpardaHerrera Pain Scale. They used mathematical and statistical approaches to optimize the scale and to compare with another well-known scale. The authors found that the new scale is very useful for measuring pain.
