System and method for assessment of multidimensional pain
First Claim
1. A method for quantifying a pain condition of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring pain episode data for the patient;
performing pain assessment on the patient; and
generating a multidimensional pain score that quantifies a pain condition for the patient.

Abstract
A system and method providing accurate, quantifiable and reproducible pain assessment documentation utilized in pain management. In particular, the pain assessment system can be implemented as follows. A description input mechanism prompts the collection of patient pain episode data, and a pain assessment mechanism assesses the pain episode data for the patient. A pain score generation mechanism then generates a multidimensional pain score from the pain episode data to quantify a pain condition for the patient. The method can be broadly summarized by the following steps, acquiring pain episode data for the patient; performing pain assessment for the patient; and generating a multidimensional pain score that quantifies a pain condition for the patient.
