最近的很多注意力都集中在疼痛措施的开发和完善上，以及对婴儿、儿童和青少年使用更有效的疼痛控制方法上。本文回顾了儿科疼痛测量的主要类别，特别关注选择最合适的行为、生理或主观方法来评估儿童疼痛。最佳疼痛测量取决于儿童的年龄和认知水平、经历的疼痛类型以及疼痛发生的情况。虽然没有单一的措施足以应对所有类型的急性、复发性和慢性疼痛的所有儿童，但可以选择实用、有效和可靠的方法来评估任何儿童的疼痛经历。
Much recent attention has focused on the development and refinement of pain measures, as well as on the use of more effective pain control methods for infants, children, and adolescents. This article reviews the primary categories of pediatric pain measures, with a specific focus on the selection of the most appropriate behavioral, physiologic, or subjective method for assessing a child's pain. The optimum pain measure depends on the age and cognitive level of a child, the type of pain experienced, and the situation in which the pain occurs. While no single measure is adequate for all children for all types of acute, recurrent, and chronic pain, it is possible to choose practical, valid, and reliable methods for evaluating any child's pain experience.
