Detecting Chronic Pain Using Brain Waves

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco have developed a method that uses brain waves to identify chronic pain. By surveying patients during chronic pain episodes about their pain, with electrodes attached measuring their brain activity, the researchers created a dataset that could be used to train an AI model to detect the onset of chronic pain from brain wave measurements, and distinguish it from acute pain.
