Understanding Painis a visual and textual overview of pain and provides an easy-to-understand tool for patient interaction with health professionals. The chart defines pain and the types of pain, lists symptoms for each, and simplifies "How Pain Works" into three comprehensible steps. A pain scale and a sample human figure are provided so patients can give their health professionals information about the level and location of pain. The chart also gives prevention tips and pointers on consulting a health professional for a tailored treatment plan.
