Pain control and mechanisms for the measurement of pain

Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology, School of Social Sciences, University of Bath, Bath BA2 7AY, UK

Three different aspects of pain measurement have been selected for review in this paper. In the first section important scales for the measurement of subjective pain are evaluated and some of the main shortcomings outlined. Then follows a discussion of how perceptions of pain control can be assessed using available scales. Finally ways of looking at coping strategies for pain control are addressed.
