Objective.Accurate classification of pain levels is essential for clinical monitoring, particularly in clinical populations with limited verbal communication. This study explores the feasibility of decoding pain from EEG using explainable deep learni...
OBJECTIVES: There is limited research exploring the age-related difference in communication when describing pain experiences. This project aimed to identify key differences between adolescents', young adults' and adults' (i) preferred communication m...
The performance of large language models (LLMs) during acute pain assessment in cats has not been evaluated. This study evaluated the agreement of the Feline Grimace Scale (FGS) scoring between four chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude AI, and Perplexit...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop indices of feigning spectrum behaviour (FSB) on the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Impact of Events Scale (IES) in people with whiplash associated disorder (WAD) after mo...
BACKGROUND: Subjective report of pain remains the gold standard for assessing symptoms in patients with chronic pain and their response to analgesics. This subjectivity underscores the importance of understanding patients' personal narratives, as the...
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...
Early detection of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is essential to improve treatment outcomes and reduce its long-term impact. However, early diagnosis of KOA (EKOA) remains difficult due to the absence of standardised criteria and the subtle or intermitte...

. 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...
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...
