Analgesia and Pain Management

Analgesia and Pain Management

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Health Informatics
Digital Health

Background:

Pain is a leading cause of hospital visits, making patient monitoring crucial for improving treatment outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
While factors affecting pain have been studied, a comprehensive review of contextual information captured by monitoring systems is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review technologies used for monitoring adults experiencing pain.
To develop a model of contextual information for designing pain monitoring applications and devices.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted from 2005-2015 across medical and computer science databases (PubMed, Science Direct, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore).
Article selection involved duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text review.

Main Results:

87 articles were analyzed, with 53 (61%) utilizing technologies for contextual data collection.
A five-dimension model of context information (activity, identity, wellness, environment, physiological) was proposed, encompassing 49 types of information.
Wearable technologies were prevalent for pain monitoring, enabling realistic context capture; research gaps exist for older adults with cognitive or digital literacy challenges.

Conclusions:

Designing effective pain monitoring devices requires careful selection of contextual information to understand patient situations without user burden.
The proposed contextual information model can guide researchers in selecting relevant data points for monitoring adults with pain.
