I still see 'degree' and 'level' instead of 'nature' in reports (just checked a couple to see what terminology was used). I'll have to keep an eye out for the change.

Nature or kind of pain is a different concept from degree or level.
not in most of North America * (the research uses nature and kind of pain interchangeably)
You misread my post, I think. That's what I was saying. Nature (or kind) of pain refers to the type of pain - stabbing, burning, aching, throbbing, whatever. Degree or level refers to the intensity or severity.
we're definitely two solitudes separated by a common language
