Study Notes
Facial Expression
- The NC3R's Grimace Scale is a facial expression-based pain assessment tool used in animals, particularly rodents.
- The scale is based on the observation that animals in pain exhibit distinct facial expressions, which can be used to infer their pain state.
- The scale assesses the following facial features:
- Orbital tightening (eye squinting)
- Nose and cheek bulging
- Whisker change (forward or backward)
- Ear position (backward or forward)
Pain Assessment
- The NC3R's Grimace Scale is a pain assessment tool that assigns a score from 0 to 2 for each of the facial features mentioned above, with 0 indicating no pain and 2 indicating severe pain.
- The total score ranges from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating greater pain.
- The scale is used to assess pain in animals in a variety of situations, including:
- Post-operative pain
- Pain associated with disease or injury
- Pain caused by experimental procedures
- The Grimace Scale is considered a more humane and non-invasive alternative to traditional pain assessment methods, such as behavioral testing or physiological measures.
