Page 21
Information on VAS The enPulsPro features a visual analogue scale, or pain scale. The pain scale
is often used when treating pain.
The pain scale is used to measure the subjective pain intensity of the patient.
The patients rate the current pain on a scale of 0–10, whereby 0 = "no pain"
and 10 = "worst pain imaginable".
The measurement is carried out before and after each treatment.
With repeated documentation, this method gives a preliminary overview of the
temporal progress and success of a treatment.
