Abstract

A recording of patient pain perception is required for proper assessment of pain therapies. A wrist-worn device for collecting patient reported pain scores could be more convenient than paper diaries or electronic tablets that could be misplaced, but the usability and adherence of a wrist worn device needs validation. Twenty subjects from a pain clinic (54 ± 7 yo, 60% female) were asked to wear a prototype of a new wrist-worn actigraphy device for 5 days. The device allowed the subjects to enter two scores, either spontaneously or in response to an alarm, several times per day.
