If the patient has pain, ask him or her to rate the pain subjectively as either \"tolerable\" or \"intolerable.\" Finally, find out if the pain interferes with function. If the patient rates the pain as \"tolerable,\" establish whether the pain interferes with any activity. If the pain is \"intolerable,\" determine whether the pain is so intense as to prevent passive activities. See the chart below for guidelines.  \n\n| Rating | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 0 | No pain |\n| 1 | Tolerable (and does not prevent any activities) |\n| 2 | Tolerable (but does prevent some activities) |\n| 3 | Intolerable (but can use telephone, watch TV, or read) |\n| 4 | Intolerable (but cannot use telephone, watch TV, or read) |\n| 5 | Intolerable (and unable to verbally communicate because of pain) |\n\nScoring:  \nThe patient's subjective rating of pain and the objective determination of the pain's interference with activities will produce a corresponding score on a scale of 0-5. A lower score equates to less severe pain and less interference with functional abilities, if any. Ideally, all patients should reach a 0 to 2 level, preferably 0 to 1. It should be made clear to the respondent that limitations in function only apply if limitations are due to the pain being evaluated.  \nSource:  \nGloth FM III, Scheve AA, Stober CV, Chow S, Prosser J.
