疼痛评估对于良好的疼痛管理和质量保证是必不可少的。应使用疼痛评定量表，并结合彻底的病史和一般体检。放射学研究是这一过程的辅助组成部分，而不是替代品。门诊疼痛日记和医院记录的疼痛严重程度与生命体征有助于沟通。目标的一部分应该是改善功能和生活质量。
Pain assessment is essential to good pain management and quality assurance. A pain-rating scale should be used, in combination with a thorough history and a general physical examination. Radiologic studies are an ancillary component rather than a substitute for this process. Outpatient pain diaries and hospital recordings of pain severity with the vital signs facilitate communication. Part of the goal should be to improve function and quality of life.
