Explanation
The Prince Henry scoring method is mainly used for patients who have undergone major thoracoabdominal surgery or tracheotomy and cannot speak. Patients need to be trained preoperatively to express the degree of pain using gestures. It is divided into 5 levels, with scores ranging from 0 to 4 to assess the degree of pain.
