Automatic pain intensity assessment from physiological signals has become an appealing approach, but it remains a largely unexplored research topic. Most studies have used machine learning approaches built on carefully designed features based on the ...
BACKGROUND: Infants are unable to self-report their pain, which, therefore, often goes underrecognized and undertreated. Adequate assessment of pain, including procedural pain, which has short- and long-term consequences, is critical for its manageme...

CONTEXT: Over 20% of US adults report they experience pain on most days or every day. Uncontrolled pain has led to increased healthcare utilization, hospitalization, emergency visits, and financial burden. Recognizing, assessing, understanding, and t...
Critically ill patients often lack cognitive or communicative functions, making it challenging to assess their pain levels using self-reporting mechanisms. There is an urgent need for an accurate system that can assess pain levels without relying on ...
Current automated pain assessment methods only focus on infants or youth. They are less practical because the children who suffer from postoperative pain in clinical scenarios are in a wider range of ages. In this article, we present a large-scale Cl...

Despite the promising performance of automated pain assessment methods, current methods suffer from performance generalization due to the lack of relatively large, diverse, and annotated pain datasets. Further, the majority of current methods do not ...

OBJECTIVE: Common pain assessment approaches such as self-evaluation and observation scales are inappropriate for children as they require patients to have reasonable communication ability. Subjective, inconsistent, and discontinuous pain assessment ...
