Humanoid robots with advanced sensory capabilities are increasingly demanded for empathetic, close-contact interactions with humans. Electronic skin (E-skin) is a key enabling technology for such tactile perception. However, current E-skins are limit...
OBJECTIVES: Inappropriately treated pain can have deleterious outcomes in infants. Current tools rely on intermittent, subjective observation requiring specialised paediatric skills. This study aimed to diagnose infant pain through continuous monitor...

. This study explores a more reliable method for measuring nociceptive pain induced by laser stimuli from electroencephalography (EEG) signals, addressing the limitations of fixed pain scales by incorporating inter-individual variability in subjectiv...
Pain assessment is a critical aspect of medical practice, directly influencing patient treatment and quality of life. Traditional pain evaluation methods, such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Verbal Rating Scale (V...
Simultaneous cortico-spinal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables non-invasive investigation of integrated central nervous system function, but acquisition challenges have restricted the availability of public datasets and slowed the d...
The canonical framework for testing pain and mechanical sensitivity in rodents is manual delivery of stimuli to the paw. However, this approach is time-consuming, produces variability in results, requires significant training, and is ergonomically un...
The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a liposomal formulation of fentanyl to improve its analgesic efficacy and safety profile in anesthesia, using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to characterize and optimize the formulation. The ...
BACKGROUND: A digital pain manikin is a measurement tool that presents a diagram of the human body where people mark the location of their pain to produce a pain drawing. Digital pain manikins facilitate collection of more detailed spatial pain data ...
Pain-related discussions on social media provide valuable insights into how people naturally express and communicate their pain experiences. However, the network structure of these discussions remains poorly understood. This study analyzed 57,000 Red...
