Pain Scales
escala sobre la intensidad del dolor VAS
La escala sobre la intensidad del dolor VAS (en reposo) debe completarse antes que la de la intensidad del
dolor VAS (en actividad).
Dibuje una sola raya vertical perpendicular
que cruce la línea de la escala de intensidad del dolor VAS de la forma que mejor describa el dolor que esté
sintiendo (extremo izquierdo de la escala = SIN DOLOR ; extremo derecho = EL PEOR DOLOR
IMAGINABLE).
***************************************
THis is what I've worked out so far.
pain intensity scale(Visual Analog Scale = VAS)
I'm trying to fit what VAS stands for and the translation for La escala sobre la intensidad del dolor VAS. Translating this it'd be pain intensity scale and writing out what VAS stands for is Visual Analog Scale.

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to have VAS on my target document. Thank you!

pain intensity visual scale
According to the text, patients are requested to mark a VAS for the evaluation of pain intensity. That's pretty clear, so I think you should go for: "pain intensity visual scale" or "escala visual de la intensidad del dolor" to fit your translation.
