Pain tracking using facial movements for non-verbal patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a system that measures facial movements to assess pain in patients who cannot speak or communicate verbally, such as those with a breathing tube. It may help healthcare providers better understand and manage pain in these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Must have a breathing tube (intubation/tracheostomy)
- Must be conscious but unable to speak

This study builds a database of videos and voice recordings from people with cancer, both with and without pain. The goal is to train artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically recognize pain, which could help doctors better manage it in the future.
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.
This study looks at a new way to measure pain in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and receiving strong pain medicine (opioids). The goal is to see if adjusting pain medicine based on a special pain assessment tool can improve comfort and recovery.
This trial tests an eye-tracking system to help ICU patients who cannot talk due to breathing tubes or injuries communicate with their caregivers. It may offer a new way for patients to express needs without speaking.
This study uses special sensors (electrodes and small markers) to measure how facial muscles move. It compares people with peripheral facial palsy to people without facial problems to better understand facial movement changes.
This trial tests a special eye-tracking tool that helps patients in the ICU communicate when they cannot speak. If you have a breathing tube or injury that stops you from talking, this device may let you use your eyes to tell nurses what you need.
