Comparison of Different Pain Rating Scales in Patients With Symptomatif Teeth
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating numerical rating scale, visual analogue scale, and 2 other interventions for Pain and Dental Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with symptomatic teeth who applied endodontic clinic between April 2019 and December 2019 for root canal treatment were enrolled in this study. All patients were asked to fill four different rating scales: numerical rating scale, visual analogue scale, color analogue scale and faces rating scale for their relevant tooth which is symptomatic and need of root canal treatment. The four scales were then compared statistically.

Interventions
patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on numerical rating scale between 0 and 10 and the result was recorded as pain intensity level.
Patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on visual analogue scale, a straight line with one end indicating "no pain" and the other end indicating "worst pain possible". Then the distance between no pain end and patients' mark was measured and recorded as pain intensity level.
Patients were asked to marked their pain intensity level on color analogue scale, a straight line with one end indicating "no pain" and the other end indicating "worst pain possible"and color change towards to "worst pain possible" end. Then the distance between no pain end and patients' mark was measured and recorded as pain intensity level.
Patients were asked marked their pain on a faces rating scale which consisted of six different faces representing different levels of pain intensity with the first face indicating "no pain" whilst last face indicating "worst pain possible". The result was recorded as pain intensity level.
