Most numeric rating scales use a 10-cm line with tick marks spaced 1 cm apart. The leftmost mark is labeled \u201c0\u201d and has the notation \u201cNo Pain.\u201d The rightmost mark is labeled \u201c10\u201d and the notation \u201cWorst pain imaginable.\u201d The patient is asked to indicate where on the continuum he or she would rate the current intensity of pain."}
