The Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales-2 (AIMS2) is a widely used instrument for assessing pain in individuals with arthritis. It consists of five items that assess typical pain, pain severity, and pain during specific times of the day, using a 5-point Likert scale (“all days” to “no days”). The possible range of scores is 0-10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain.
