Bands

Minimal Pain Severity

Expressions activating this band mention pain or distress only incidentally, hypothetically, or in diffuse mixed-symptom contexts, with little clear emphasis on current bodily hurting. Pain may be framed as a possibility, a background condition, or one concern among unrelated difficulties.

Moderate Pain Severity

Expressions activating this band describe clearly present pain that is bothersome enough to notice, worry about, or treat with medication. The pain is experienced as ongoing and meaningful, but is usually framed in general severity or average burden terms.

High Pain Severity

Expressions activating this band describe substantial pain or closely related physical discomfort that is salient in the moment and interferes with enjoyment of life, functioning, or overall well-being. The experience is presented as a significant problem requiring active appraisal of intensity or impact.

Severe Pain Severity

Expressions activating this band report intense, immediate, and explicitly quantified pain, often focusing on current pain, worst pain, or pain during acute attacks. The hurting is vivid enough to support direct rating, localization, or visual indication of where and how much it hurts.
