smärtschema/skala - värsta (tänkbara) smärta
Explanation:
is this a question where the patient is to give a rating or describe the point/source of pain? In case of the latter this needs to be rephrased

värsta tänkbara smärta is the usual term for the maximum point on the pain scale

depending on the context you can probably drop the "item"
and possibly "brief"
