Development of a New Electronic Measure of Pediatric Pain: A Pilot Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Pediatric Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of a computer-based program to self-report the location and intensity of a child's pain in comparison to a traditional self-report paper and pencil measure and physician physical exam. Using a computer to assess pediatric pain may offer many advantages and improvements in how pediatric pain is diagnosed and treated.
