A Protocol of Manual Tests to Measure Sensation and Pain in Humans
Published on: December 19, 2016
Abstract:
Since years legal demands towards patients information are extensive and highly refined. Recently, however, pain--a permanent companion of human life since ever--was included by two sentences as an additional item. Following legal categories, the physician before diagnostic interventions is obliged to evaluate the ability of the severely suffering patient fully to understand and judge the given information. Additionally patients have to be informed on possibly appearing engraved pains. Concerning therapeutical interventions normally the same legal rules have to be considered. Furthermore doctors are obliged to inform the patient on the foreseen development of pain either with or without medical intervention.
