Visual Analog Scale. Can be used for pain but also for muscle
fatigue/exertion, shortness of breath, happiness, you name it... It works
like this: horizontal line on piece of paper which presents a continuum with
on one side 0 or "nothing" and on the other side 10 or "maximum". The
parameter you are using has to be estimated by your patient on this
continuum.
