Introducing a Device for Measuring Pain Intensity; a Letter to Editor
Journal Title: Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Pain is defined as an unpleasant feeling caused by a real or potential tissue injury and is classified into neuropathic, somatic and visceral types (1, 2). Characteristics such as severity, location, duration and site of pain referral are very helpful in correct diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Pain control in the emergency department is one of the first measures that should be taken for the patients and for this purpose, a wide range of analgesic drugs such as NSAIDs, opioids, and corticosteroids are used (3-5).
