For J6c, which option defines intermittent pain?

• A. Constant
• B. Single episode during last 3 days
• C. No pain
• D. Intermittent

Answer: (D)

Intermittent means the pain comes and goes, with pain-free periods in between. That exact pattern is what the term describes, so it’s the best match here. The other descriptions refer to different patterns: constant would be ongoing pain with no breaks; no pain means there is zero pain; a single episode during the last three days describes one occurrence in a short window and doesn’t indicate recurring pain with breaks.
