LOINC long common name : Mainz pain staging system panel [Mainz Pain Staging System];
LOINC description : The Mainz Pain Staging System is a multi-dimensional tool developed to grade chronic
pain severity and group chronic pain disorders. Chronic pain is assessed through 10
items in four axes, temporal aspects of pain, spatial aspects of pain, drug taking
behavior, and health care utilization, each item scored from 1-3. Individual scores
are summed and converted to a final stage of I, II, or III, where higher values are
associated with greater pain. [PMID: 12799906] [PMID: 20093984].;
