Equipment and methods for physiological and pharmacodynamic determination and monitoring

摘要

An apparatus and method for generating a patient pain score is provided. The method includes generating a PLR response signature for each drug of the plurality of drugs, further initiating light stimulation to the patient and measuring a corresponding PLR response. The method initiates neural stimulation to a patient, where neural stimulation is initiated over a set of frequencies, each frequency being associated with a unique intensity, stimulating the patient's unique nerve fiber type, and initiated neural stimulation. Measuring the patient's PRD response to. Further, the method determines for each nerve fiber type a threshold response based on the measured PRD, determines a weight for each threshold response based on the PLR response, and obtains each threshold response to obtain a patient pain score. Combining the weights determined for.
