Abstract: Pain is a multifaceted experience that can vary based on an individual's threshold and perception and can be acute or chronic, depending on the nature and type of pain experienced. This study evaluated the efficacy of Visual Analogue Scale in assessing dental pain among 153 dental patients in Pakistan region. The study found that Visual Analogue Scale provides a useful and straightforward method for assessing pain intensity among dental patients undergoing various therapies. These findings may help dental healthcare providers improve pain management strategies and patient outcomes. However, a comprehensive approach to pain assessment and management beyond pain intensity ratings using Visual Analogue Scale is essential. Future studies should explore other dimensions of pain and identify optimal pain management strategies in dental settings.
