สรุป	The FLACC Behavioral Pain Scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) is a 5-item observational tool developed by Merkel and Voepel-Lewis in 1997 to assess acute pain in children ages 2 months to 7 years who are unable to self-report pain. Each of the five behavioral domains is scored 0-2, yielding a total score of 0-10. The FLACC is widely used in pediatric hospitals, recovery rooms, and intensive care units for postoperative and acute pain assessment.	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.
