visual analogue scale - (pronounced) (VIH-zhoo-ul A-nuh-log skayl) tool that a person uses to measure the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as B. pain, can assess. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end representing no pain and the other end representing the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that corresponds to the severity of their pain. It can be used to help choose the right dose of pain medication. Also called VAS
