Methods Used and Application of the Mouse Grimace Scale in …
The Mouse Grimace Scale (MGS) was developed 10 years ago as a method for assessing pain through the characterisation of changes in five facial features or action units. The strength of the technique is that it is proposed to be a measure of spontaneous or non-evoked pain.
The grimace scale: a useful tool for assessing pain in laboratory ...
In 2010, Langford et al. developed a new method called the “Mouse grimace scale (MGS)” for assessing pain in mice. This scale quantitatively evaluates the degree of pain based on the facial expressions of mice.

We recently developed the Mouse Grimace Scale (MGS), a facial-expression–based pain coding system adapted directly from scales used in nonverbal human populations. The MGS has shown to be a reliable, highly accurate measure of spontaneous pain of moderate duration, and therefore is particularly useful in the quantification of postoperative pain.
