Study Summary
Pain in hospitalized patients has received increasing attention, however due to its subjective nature, it has defied objective, quantitative measurements. If a patient is able to communicate, pain may be assessed using standardized sentences, visual analog scales (VAS) or plain numeric scales. When a patient is unable to communicate, a method that would allow the caregiver to continuously monitor patients' pain and alert the provider that the patient may be in pain would be quite useful. The Pain Monitor uses a novel measurement technique of analyzing changes in skin conductance that can be used in patients who are unable to provide a subjective pain score. This study will compare the relationship between the measurements taken by the PainMonitor and pain scores given by communicative patients to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this monitor during planned, routine procedures.
