It is particularly recommended for use with very young children. The clinician scores the chosen face 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, counting left to right, so "0" equals "No pain" and "10" equals "Very much pain." Make sure you do not use words like "happy" and '"sad." This scale is intended to measure how children feel inside, not how their face looks.

Objective[edit | edit source]

Assessment of pain in children is particularly complex considering both subjectivity of the pain experience and the limits and variability of children's cognitive and social development[1]. The Faces Pain Scale – Revised (FPS-R) is a measure of pain intensity. It was adapted from the Faces Pain Scale to make it possible to score the sensation of pain on the widely accepted 0-to-10 metric. The scale shows a close linear relationship with visual analog pain scales across the age range of 4-16 years[2]. It is easy to administer.

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Children older than 4 years old

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

It is a self-report measure of pain intensity, that requires no equipment except for the photocopied faces. The absence of smiles and tears in this scale may be advantageous. It is particularly recommended for use with very young children. The clinician scores the chosen face 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, counting left to right, so "0" equals "No pain" and "10" equals "Very much pain." Make sure you do not use words like "happy" and '"sad." This scale is intended to measure how children feel inside, not how their face looks.
