Description

A multifunctional pain scale and its operating method

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a multifunctional pain scale and an operating method thereof.

Background technique

Pain is an unpleasant subjective experience caused by noxious stimuli acting on the body, accompanied by sensory, perceptual and emotional responses. Lack of proper pain assessment is one of the major factors in the undertreatment of pain, and assessment is a critical first step in pain management. Since pain is a subjective experience that can only be experienced by the individual suffering from it, patient self-reporting is the most accurate and effective method of pain assessment. Clinically, the pain assessment scale is the main tool for judging the patient's pain.

Traditional pain scales mainly include visual analog scales, digital assessment scales, facial expression scales and text description scales.

The visual analog scale is a linear scale with 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating severe pain. When in use, the patient marks the pain sensation on a straight line, and the distance from the left end of the line to the digital display drawn by the patient is the patient's subjective pain intensity. It is usually used to describe the pain intensity of the patient at present or in the past 24 hours. VAS (Visual Analogue Scale/Score, Visual Analogue Scale) has the characteristics of simplicity, speed, accuracy, and convenient operation, and is widely used in clinical practice. Studies have shown that patients only need to spend one minute to complete the VAS pain score. Although the measurement method of VAS is simple and effective, it requires patients to have good abstract thinking, and the necessary perception ability and motor coordination ability are required to make marking lines with a pen. Therefore, VAS is suitable for patients over seven years old, and it is not suitable for patients Pain assessment in those with low education or cognitive impairment.

The digital rating scale consists of 11 points ranging from 0 to 10. The number from low to high means from no pain to the most painful, 0 means no pain, 10 means severe pain, and the pain is quantified by the patient's choice of no pain score The higher the score, the greater the pain intensity. Compared with VAS, this method is simpler, less time-consuming, easy to record, and easy to be accepted and understood by patients. Suitable for adult patients, but not suitable for children who do not have the concept of numbers.

There are multiple painless facial expressions arranged horizontally on the facial expression scale, and the subjects choose the facial expression that can represent the intensity of their pain to score the pain. It was originally used to evaluate the degree of pain in children. By modifying the FPS (Faces Pain Scale, facial expression scoring method) to make it closer to the expression of normal people, it can be used to assess the pain intensity of adults with low education and the elderly, but patients are required to carefully identify it during the assessment.

The text description scale divides a line into 5 segments, and each point has a corresponding text describing the pain, from no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, severe pain, very severe pain to unbearable pain. The subjects choose the appropriate words to describe their pain according to their own pain level. The words of this method are easy to understand, can be expressed orally at any time, convenient for communication, and meet the psychological needs of patients, but it is difficult to apply to people with low education or illiterate.

All the currently used pain scales have various defects, and cannot perform more accurate assessments for various groups of people. Their passability is not strong, and the tests are not accurate enough.
