x402
NVPS (Nonverbal Pain Scale) Calculator — Odhner 2003 is a paid API for AI agents from api.magentlab.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Computes the original Odhner 2003 Nonverbal Pain Scale (NVPS) total score (0–10) by summing five caller-assigned behavioral and physiologic subscores.

How this service works
Odhner 2003 original NVPS from five caller-assigned 0-2 items (face, activity, guarding, physiologic_i vital signs, physiologic_ii autonomic) using that paper's 0/1/2 descriptors. magent sums only (max 10) and does not observe the patient. Not the later NVPS-R respiratory revision. No invented intensity cutoffs. Not a pain diagnosis or analgesic order. Not BPS. Not FLACC.
Output
Returns the NVPS total score as an integer between 0 and 10, calculated as the arithmetic sum of the five caller-assigned subscores (face + activity + guarding + physiologic_i + physiologic_ii). Does not provide diagnosis, intensity cutoffs, analgesic recommendations, or observational data.
Example use cases
ICU nurse pain assessment documentation
“I need the Odhner 2003 NVPS total for an intubated patient: face score 2 (frequent grimacing), activity 1 (slow cautious movement), guarding 2 (rigid and stiff), physiologic I is 1 (HR up 22 bpm from baseline), and physiologic II is 0 (warm dry skin). What's the total?”
Sedated patient pain monitoring
“My sedated post-op patient can't self-report pain — can you compute the NVPS score? Face is 0, activity is 2 (restless with withdrawal reflexes), guarding is 1 (tense, splinting), vital signs changed SBP by 35 mmHg so physiologic I is 2, and they're diaphoretic so physiologic II is 2.”
Automated pain score logging in care workflow
“Log the NVPS for the patient in bed 4: face 1, activity 0, guarding 0, physiologic I 0 (stable vitals last 4 hours), physiologic II 1 (dilated pupils and flushing). Sum those up with the Odhner 2003 scale.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/nvpsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to compute the original Odhner 2003 NVPS for a nonverbal or non-communicative patient and have already assigned integer 0–2 values to all five behavioral and physiologic categories. Prefer this over manual calculation to ensure accurate summation. Do not use if you need the later NVPS-R (which replaces physiologic II with a respiratory category), the BPS (Behavioral Pain Scale), or FLACC (for pediatric patients). This endpoint performs only arithmetic summation — clinical observation and subscore assignment must be done by the clinician before calling.
Side effects
- Missing any of the five required query parameters returns an error
- Any subscore value outside 0–2 (integer) is rejected as invalid
- Non-integer inputs are rejected
- Endpoint does not validate clinical plausibility of provided subscores — caller is responsible for accurate observation-to-score mapping
