Pain behavior scale study for adults who cannot speak
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks whether a “pain behavior” checklist works well and gives consistent results in adults who can’t communicate verbally and who have an artificial airway. It may help clinicians better recognize pain in people who cannot tell them directly.
