Preliminary findings on a deep learning model using electroencephalogram for multi-level neuropathic pain detection...

Neuropathic pain occurs commonly after stroke and represents a major source of disability for affected patients. This study aims to develop an accurate and computationally efficient framework for multi-level neuropathic pain detection using electroencephalography signals.

A Quantum-Inspired Pyramid Depthwise Separable Residual Network is proposed, which integrates three innovations: a depthwise separable Residual Network to reduce computational complexity, a pyramid attention mechanism to capture multi-scale patterns, and a quantum-inspired transformation layer to model complex nonlinear dependencies among Electroencephalogram features.

Experiments conducted on benchmark electroencephalography datasets confirm that the proposed model gains a accuracy of 99.65%, with a recall of 98.00%.

The proposed model provides a reliable solution for objective neuropathic pain detection in post-stroke patients. The framework demonstrates potential for integration into intelligent clinical decision-support and brain-computer interface-based rehabilitation systems.
