Pain, caused by injury, is one of the main reasons patients seek the guidance of health care providers. However, because pain is subjective, it may be difficult to accurately measure the pain level a patient is experiencing and observe changes over time. Pain may have negative consequences for active individuals such as athletes, including decreased functionality and loss of participation time. Therefore, it is important to determine and document pain status on a frequent basis to help reduce these outcomes. Although there are several pain scales available to clinicians, the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) are frequently used. Currently, it is unknown which outcome measurement for monitoring pain is optimal in the care of active patients. Understanding active patients' pain levels may help sports rehabilitation clinicians in acute injury management and in determining the appropriate progression of rehabilitation.
疼痛是由损伤引起的，是患者寻求医疗保健提供者指导的主要原因之一。然而，由于疼痛是主观的，因此可能难以准确测量患者正在经历的疼痛程度并观察随时间的变化。疼痛可能会对运动员等积极的个体产生负面影响，包括功能下降和丧失参与时间。因此，定期确定和记录疼痛状况很重要，以帮助减少这些结果。尽管有几种疼痛量表可供临床医生使用，但麦吉尔疼痛问卷（MPQ）和视觉模拟量表（VAS）经常使用。目前，尚不清楚在积极患者的护理中，哪种疼痛监测的结果测量方法是最佳的。了解积极患者的疼痛水平可能有助于运动康复临床医生进行急性损伤管理，并确定康复的适当进展。
