Case Reports[Evendol, a pain assessment scale for pediatric emergency departments].
Evendol is a behavioural scale used to objectively assess the pain felt by children under 7 in paediatric emergency departments. Boasting excellent validity criteria and easy to use, it also differentiates pain and anxiety. It is a very useful tool when caring for children in pain in emergency departments.
