Abstract :Pain is an experience that negatively affects a person\`s life. When choosing the intervention strategies to be planned for the treatment of pain, an accurate assessment of the patient\`s level of pain is crucial. Asking the patient if they are in pain is the simplest way to determine their level of pain. However, a simple \`yes or no\` assessment is insufficient. To assess pain, both single-dimensional and multidimensional scales are employed nowadays. In this article, due to the subjectivity and individuality of pain; Information about commonly used pain scales developed specifically for certain patient populations will be given.Keywords : ağrı, ağrı ölçümü, hasta popülasyonu
