An assessment apparatus and method for objective pain assessment are provided, wherein the apparatus includes a processor comprising a frequency-domain transformation module, a frequency-band segmentation module, a first assessment submodule, and a second assessment submodule. The frequency-domain transformation module generates a global time-frequency feature matrix, which is segmented by the frequency-band segmentation module in a frequency domain into five frequency bands associated with pain perception. The first assessment submodule extracts last time step features and an adjacency matrix from the time-frequency feature matrix and generates a first feature vector representing global association patterns among electrodes used for acquiring EEG signals. The second assessment submodule generates a second feature vector with local spatiotemporal dynamic features of EEG signals, concatenates it with the first feature vector to form a fused feature vector, computes its class probability distribution, normalizes it, and generates an objective pain quantification indicator corresponding to the EEG signals.

A method and system for differentiating acute and chronic pain based on the functional state of specific neural circuits is proposed. This method utilizes in vivo two-photon / endoscopic calcium imaging and ex vivo brain slice patch-clamp techniques to longitudinally monitor the activity dynamics of neurons in the DRN and ZI brain regions during the acute and chronic phases of a neuropathic pain model. By extracting and analyzing calcium and electrophysiological signal parameter sets, distinguishing criteria are established: if the activity of 5-HTergic neurons in the DRN is specifically enhanced in the acute phase, the indication is acute pain; if the activity of GABAergic neurons in the ZI is specifically enhanced in the chronic phase, the indication is chronic pain. This invention achieves an objective and precise differentiation of the transition from acute to chronic pain at the level of specific neural circuits, providing a new strategy and tool for pain mechanism research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.
