ABSTRACT:
A computer assisted pain assessment method where the patient is presented with successive computer screens: a first screen with a human body replica on an interactive touch screen for the patient to shade his or her area of pain being experienced and then presented with a second screen with a color spectrum scale for the patient to select a pain intensity from minimum to maximum by moving a pointer to indicate the pain intensity, a check the box for type of pain where the patient checks a box indicating his or her type of pain, and a gray scale for indicating a depth of pain where the patient moves a pointer between superficial or bone level. Upon completion of these two screens, the next computer screen presents the human body replica with the pain area shown by particular marking for the area of pain, the selected type of pain by a unique pattern for the area of pain and the pattern colored for the particular intensity as selected on the second screen. The patient then is asked to confirm the pain. If confirmed, the patient would activate the finish button on the navigation bar. The patient inputs are processed by the computer along with the patient history and vital statistics, and an on-screen report is available to the clinician or physician to review and print out. A main feature of the report is the Objective Pain Value computed from the area shaded relative to the body replica area and the pain intensity chosen on a color spectrum scale.
