Embodiment Construction
[0028]Referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4, portions of the interactive display for patient inputs are displayed. The patients are guided through FIGS. 1 through 4 by instruction on each successive screen displays 1, 10, 20, 30 and further assisted by selecting the help screen on the navigation bar, as well as, selecting the prior screen or the next screen on the navigation bar when applicable. In order to illustrate the patient's computer pain assessment, the help aid on the navigation bar and on screen instructions are not shown in FIGS. 1 through 4 and FIG. 6. Likewise, for simplicity of illustration only, FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, screens 70A, 70B and 70C, respectively, do not display the patient information such as name, social security number, gender, date of birth, physical data, medications, etc., although this information is provided on an actual report.
[0029]Once the clinician or physician has recorded all of the patient's personal data and medical ...

Abstract
A computer assisted system for objective assessment by a patient of pain experienced is presented with successive computer screens. A first interactive screen includes anterior and posterior images of a body replica. The user indicates a pain area on the images corresponding to an area on the body having pain and a percentage pain area is calculated. A second interactive screen indicates pain intensity in the pain area. A third interactive screen indicates pain type. A fourth interactive screen indicates pain depth in response to input from the user. A fifth interactive screen displays confirmation information. The first through fourth screens are re-displayed for modification in response to the user, if selected. The fifth screen is then re-displayed in response to modifications and a final screen displayed in response to a confirmation of accuracy. Data is saved and a printable report created.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 702,461, filed on Feb. 5, 2007, still pending.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to computer systems for documenting human pain and pain intensity, and more particularly to computer pain assessment techniques or tools.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Bodily pain is a rather subjective, complex phenomenon consisting of a sensorial perception, sometimes revealing a potential or real tissular lesion, and the affective response, such as crying or verbal outburst, provoked by this sensorial perception. As bodily pain sensation is also psychic, objective evaluation thereof is difficult.[0006]Pain evaluation during clinical examination of patients includes evaluation of pain sensitivity and is generally performed by means of palpation of skin or underlying tissues (for example muscles), or by means of other...
