Assessing Analgesia and Function Tool (PEG)
To compute the PEG score, add the three response to the question above, then divide by three to get the final score out of 10.
The final PEG score can mean very different things to different patients. The PEG score, like most other screening instruments, is most useful in tracking changes over time. The PEG score should decrease over time after therapy has begun.
