Patient-specific calibration of pain quantification

摘要

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain in a patient. A system may include sensors to sense physiological or functional signals, and a pain analyzer that generates a pain score using the sensed physiological or functional signals and a fusion model. The system includes a calibration module that calibrates the fusion model based on measurements from the sensed physiological or functional signals and a reference pain quantification corresponding to multiple pain intensities. A pain score may be generated using the calibrated fusion model. The system can additionally include a neurostimulator that controls the delivery of pain therapy by adjusting one or more stimulation parameters based on the pain score.
