Abstract
Our primary goal was to objectively quantify pain. The experiment we designated for this task was via dry electroencephalography (EEG) in conjunction with a support vector machine classifier (SVM). Normal gel-based electrode EEG has been validated as reliable in pain measurement. Yet, to date, there are few documented trials that use dry-EEG for pain quantification. In addition, SVM classifiers have proven accurate when classifying pain intensity. Therefore, we believe EEG combined with SVM could increase the statistical power of pain assessment. However, due to the subjectivity of pain, currently clinicians mainly rely on verbal reports. This research could offer a method to objectively monitor pain, eliminate observer error and individualize treatment.
