Abstract

INTRODUCTION. Pain is a current interdisciplinary problem. Modern pain classification requires reliable and valid pain assessment. Pain characterization analysis serves several additional unctions, including documenting the severity of the pain state, monitoring the course of pain, and providing information about pain mechanisms. This article reviews pain assessment methods, including available approaches to analyze multiple pain domains and pathophysiologic mechanisms. We also provide a linical example that describes clinical pain assessment scales needed to monitor analgesic therapy. CONCLUSION. An accurate pain assessment should consider multiple domains of pain, including sensory and affective properties of pain, temporal aspects of pain, and the location and physical distribution of pain. Whenever possible, pain assessment should also include methods for identifying the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying pain. KEYWORDS: pain assessment, Aceclofenac, pain, NSAIDs, case report
