PainTrace® in research can be used for:
- Stratification - Tailored methodology can enhance the validity of your findings.
- Pilot Trials - Strengthen your application and protocol by providing evidence of your study's design and its relevance to addressing pain-related issues. Phase
- Studies - Smaller, well-defined groups can yield significant insights into pain measurement and improve the precision of your findings.
ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
Book a meeting to discuss PainTrace® in research.
How do we turn PainTrace® data into meaningful insights in research?
PainTrace® is an objective neurobiosignature correlated with human self-reported pain
PainTrace differentiates acute and chronic pain, measuring both magnitude and duration of the pain experience.
Quantify the individual experience of pain with an objective outcome measure to strengthen research conclusions.
The PainTrace® Pain Scale
Interpreting the PainTrace Pain Scale
Baseline Value
The PainTrace Baseline measures chronic pain - positive values indicate degree of non-painful state and increasing negative values indicate mild, moderate, and severe chronic pain state.
Pain Peaks
The PainTrace Acute Peaks quantify acute pain in response to in response to applied stimuli such as examination, movement, or touch. Peak amplitudes are highlighted by intensity.

CASE EXAMPLES
PainTrace® demonstrates reduced pain in 95% of lower back patients post-treatment
PainTrace® was used to objectively measure pain levels in individuals with chronic lower back pain before and after treatment.
The results showed that 95% of patients experienced less pain, as evidenced by more positive or less negative PainTrace® values post-treatment.

PainTrace® provides an objective measure of pain throughout the surgical recovery process
Monitor Pre- and Post-Surgical Pain
Pain levels were recorded before surgery and monitored over time post-operatively. An initial increase in pain signal was observed immediately after surgery, followed by steady improvement. These values reflect reduced pain and support PainTrace® as a tool for tracking surgical recovery and long-term treatment efficacy.

Chronic Pain with NSAID's for 18 weeks
Effect on PainTrace® Baseline values, indicating chronic pain state, with the administration of NSAIDs over 18 weeks
PainTrace can be used to track chronic pain and assess treatment efficacy by comparing baseline averages across the pre-treatment, active treatment, and post-treatment phases. Changes in the baseline average reflect shifts in the chronic pain state, providing objective insight into therapeutic impact.

“To better understand chronic pain, we first need to address the problem of how to evaluate the severity of pain.”
