Currently, physicians use self-reporting on a 10-point scale, where 1 is the least pain and 10 is the worst pain. The rating is subjective, meaning patients rate their own pain symptoms. However, physicians and medical / nursing staff can also use objective criteria of what they observe about a patient and the patient's behaviors.
