Abstract

Objective: To review the literature regarding non-invasive objective measurements of pain. Measuring pain is of uttermost importance, but it can be an inconvenient task, especially in terms of the interpretation of patient's information. Reiterating, there is no "standard" that provides the physician with a method to objectively quantify this problem of patient's pain. For assessing the pain, physician relies solely on unidimensional assessment tools or questionnaire-based pain assessment. Although pain is a subjective experience of the patient, but there is a need to measure pain sometimes in the individuals who cannot communicate their quality and severity of pain.

Material and methods: The articles from PubMed and Google Scholar without any year and age limit were searched in the current narrative review. A total of 16 markers were searched and their relation to pain was studied.

Results: Studies have shown that these markers change in relation to pain and it can be considered a valuable tool for pain measurement but there are multiple factors like psychological and emotional factors which affect these markers.

Conclusion: There is lack of evidence to show which marker can be used for measuring pain accurately. This narrative review is an attempt to look into the various pain-related markers that can be used and it calls for further studies including clinical trials with different diseases and taking into accounts different factors affecting pain to give an accurate measurement of pain.

测量疼痛的非侵入性客观标记物:开发疼痛设备的方向——叙述性综述。
目的:回顾关于疼痛的非侵入性客观测量的文献。测量疼痛是最重要的,但这可能是一项不方便的任务,尤其是在解释患者信息方面。重申,没有“标准”为医生提供客观量化患者疼痛问题的方法。为了评估疼痛,医生只依赖于一维评估工具或基于问卷的疼痛评估。虽然疼痛是患者的主观体验,但有时有必要测量那些无法交流疼痛质量和严重程度的人的疼痛。材料和方法:在当前的叙述性综述中搜索PubMed和Google Scholar的文章,没有任何年份和年龄限制。共检索了16个标志物,并研究了它们与疼痛的关系。结果:研究表明,这些标志物与疼痛有关,它可以被认为是一种有价值的疼痛测量工具,但有多种因素影响这些标志物,如心理和情绪因素。结论:目前尚无证据表明哪种标记物可以准确测量疼痛。这篇叙述性综述试图研究可以使用的各种疼痛相关标志物,它呼吁进行进一步的研究,包括对不同疾病的临床试验,并考虑影响疼痛的不同因素,以准确测量疼痛。
