The Modified Borg Scale measures the intensity of a patient's perception of their condition. Each score on the scale relates to a different level of intensity. Generally speaking, a low score indicates that the patient has low intensity and may not require medical treatment. In contrast, a high score means the patient is experiencing intense symptoms and should seek medical help.
