Update on structured pain assessment for the documentation of diagnosis-independent symptoms and signs associated with pain.
This article presents a system for documenting the symptoms and signs associated with pain globally and independently of the diagnosis (Structured Pain Assessment System) with nomenclature that is inspired by the AMDP system. The objective of this working group is to develop documentation for a uniform multidimensional pain assessment (with defined terminology) that serves as a comparable and unified standard in the field.
