Abstract

In the absence of any standardized objective aid for measuring pain levels in human body, a manifold of subjective tools have been developed to monitor chronic pain patients and intra-/post-operative analgesic drug management. However, due to the subjective nature of the evaluation methods and tools, pain remains a challenging phenomenon to be characterised for objective assessment and monitoring. In this paper we briefly describe a protocol and methodology for non-invasive evaluation of pain as result of nociceptor stimulation via skin impedance measurements. Both time-frequency domain analysis is performed, providing interesting observations.
