Abstract

BACKGROUND: Traditional pain assessment methods have significant limitations due to the high variability in patient reported pain scores and perception of pain by different individuals. There is a need for generalized and automatic pain detection and recognition methods. In this paper, state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) and deep learning methods in this field are analyzed as well as pain management techniques.
