What is a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)?

A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a widely used tool in clinical settings to measure the intensity of various subjective experiences, including pain. It involves a straight line, usually 10 cm in length, with one end representing the absence of the sensation and the other end representing the most intense imaginable experience. Patients are asked to mark a point on the line that corresponds to their perception of their current state.
