Resumen	The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is a single-item, self-report measure of pain intensity developed by Jensen and colleagues in 1986. Patients rate their pain on an 11-point scale (0-10) where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. The NRS is among the most widely used pain severity measures in clinical practice and research due to its simplicity, rapid administration, and robust measurement properties.	The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a concise, validated self-report instrument developed by Cleeland and Ryan beginning in 1994 to measure the severity and functional impact of pain in patients with cancer and chronic pain conditions. The BPI-Short Form comprises 11 items assessing pain severity and interference with daily activities, enabling rapid multidimensional pain assessment across diverse clinical populations.	The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) is a multidimensional pain assessment instrument developed by Ronald Melzack in 1975. It measures pain across sensory, affective, and evaluative dimensions, allowing clinicians and researchers to capture the qualitative experience of pain beyond simple intensity ratings. The MPQ remains one of the most widely used pain assessment tools in clinical and research settings.
