Assessment of Pain Onset and Maximum Bearable Pain Thresholds in Physical Contact Situations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the development of robot technology, robot utilization is expanding in industrial fields and everyday life. To employ robots in various fields wherein humans and robots share the same space, human safety must be guaranteed in the event of a huma...

Objective pain stimulation intensity and pain sensation assessment using machine learning classification and regression based on electrodermal activity.

American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology
An objective measure of pain remains an unmet need of people with chronic pain, estimated to be 1/3 of the adult population in the United States. The current gold standard to quantify pain is highly subjective, based upon self-reporting with numerica...

Identification of herbal categories active in pain disorder subtypes by machine learning help reveal novel molecular mechanisms of algesia.

Pharmacological research
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and poorly controlled, of which the accurate underlying mechanisms need be further elucidated. Herbal drugs have been widely used for controlling various pain disorders. The systematic integration of pain herbal data ...

Hyperparameter-tuned prediction of somatic symptom disorder using functional near-infrared spectroscopy-based dynamic functional connectivity.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a reflection of medically unexplained physical symptoms that lead to distress and impairment in social and occupational functioning. SSD is phenomenologically diagnosed and its neurobiology remains unsolve...

Assessment of pressure pain thresholds in collisions with collaborative robots.

PloS one
In recent years, safety issues surrounding robots have increased in importance, as more robots are in close contact with humans, both in industrial fields and elsewhere. Safety standards for industrial robots operating in specific spaces have been es...

Cuff Pressure Algometry in Patients with Chronic Pain as Guidance for Circumferential Tissue Compression for Wearable Soft Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review.

Soft robotics
In this article, we report on a systematic review of the literature on pressure-pain thresholds induced and assessed by computerized cuff pressure algometry (CPA). The motivation for this review is to provide design guidance on pressure levels for we...

Machine-learned analysis of quantitative sensory testing responses to noxious cold stimulation in healthy subjects.

European journal of pain (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Pain in response to noxious cold has a complex molecular background probably involving several types of sensors. A recent observation has been the multimodal distribution of human cold pain thresholds. This study aimed at analysing reprod...

Does conditioned pain modulation predict the magnitude of placebo effects in patients with neuropathic pain?

European journal of pain (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a validated measure of the function of endogenous pain inhibitory pathways. Placebo effects reflect top-down inhibitory modulation of pain. CPM and placebo effects are both influenced by expectations, ...

[From external assessment of pain to automated multimodal measurement of pain intensity : Narrative review of state of research and clinical perspectives].

Schmerz (Berlin, Germany)
BACKGROUND: In patients with limited communication skills, the use of conventional scales or external assessment is only possible to a limited extent or not at all. Multimodal pain recognition based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could be...
