The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for controlling the same.

1 is a diagram showing an algorithm for a measurement process of a pain measuring instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

When a patient or a user visits the hospital, enter personal information (height, weight, sex, etc.) and medical history information (hypertension, diabetes, other diseases, etc.) of the patient or user. Basically, you only have to enter it once, but if a new disease has been discovered or the treatment period is longer than one year, enter it again. (In this case, it is treated as other information of the same patient.)

The VAS of the patient or the user is measured. Record the degree of pain when the pain is zero and the most severe pain is 10. The subject's subjective pain level at the time of the measurement is recorded by the subject himself, and the correlation between the pain measured by the actual device and the pain felt by the patient is grasped. This will allow you to plan treatment that is more appropriate for each individual to treat the patient. VAS is measured every time a patient or a user visits.

Set up pain measurement preparation. The measurement start voltage setting and the limit current setting are made so that a current not exceeding a constant value can be prevented for safe inspection. And set output voltage rise rate. Indicate the location of the pain (record the area of the patient or user where the pain is appealing on the screen and, if possible, measure the threshold value, pain, and vibration near the area). Then prepare a stimulation device (attaching the medical EL band inside the arm or behind the ankle and connecting the wires).

The threshold value is measured by the electrode sensor to the patient or the user. An electric stimulus set through a two-point electrode patch is injected into the subject to induce heterogeneous pain. If you start to feel irritation from the start, lower the starting voltage by 1V to find the voltage value that the patient will not feel, and then start again. As soon as the subject begins to feel electric stimulation, the switch is depressed to measure the threshold value of the stimulus. Measurements should be made at or near the area where the patient or user feels most painful. However, measurements may need to be made in areas where the patient is not sore to know the sensory loss. The above behavior is repeated three times, each value is recorded separately, and the average value is calculated and recorded. Threshold values are measured only once, but should be re-measured when the value of pain during treatment is much different from the existing flow or if there is a change in the physical or mental state of the patient or user. This allows us to know the sensitivity of the patient to the pain and then identifies the treatment effect by the difference from the pain value. It is possible to predict indirectly the sympathetic nervous system activity of the patient through the change of the baseline threshold value according to the treatment progress. The threshold value at the top and the threshold value at the pain site are compared to confirm whether the sensory abnormality is abnormal. The electric stimulation set through the 2-point electrode patch is injected into the patient or the user to induce heterogeneous pain. At this time, the start value is based on the threshold value.

The patient or the user compares the intensity of the heterogeneous pain with the intensity of the pain at the pain site and extracts or acquires the pain value by pressing the switch at the time when the two intensities of the pain feel similar. The adequacy of the treatment can be evaluated by comparing the initial pain value of the patient or the user with the post-treatment pain value.

When the above activity is terminated, the medical actor performs the pressure measurement using the pressure sensor to the patient or the user. The medical actor applies the pressure set by the pressure sensor (handpiece) to the patient or the user. As soon as the patient or user begins to feel pressure, he / she measures the threshold value of the stimulus by talking to the medical practitioner. The measurement is made at or near the area where the patient or the user feels most painful. However, it may also be necessary to measure at the site where it is not painful to know the sensory loss of the patient or the user. Repeat the above three times, record each value separately, and calculate and record the average value. Threshold values are measured only once, but they can be re-measured when the pain is much different from the current flow during the course of treatment or when there is a change in the physical or mental state of the patient or user

. When the above activities are completed, the medical actor performs the vibration measurement using the vibration sensor to the patient or the user. The medical actor applies the vibration set by the vibration sensor to the patient or the user. Measurements are performed at the site where the patient feels most painful or both at the site and at the non-painful site. First, make sure that the patient or the user feels a normal vibration by applying vibration to the unaffected area. If you do not feel the vibration, adjust the frequency to apply vibration after resetting. Thereafter, the patient or the user applies vibration to the area where the user feels pain, and confirms that the user feels the vibration. If you do not feel it, you will add a fad of pain through a separate scoring. (At least five sites). If you feel a vibration in the affected area, immediately move the vibration sensor to the opposite site and vibrate.

When the measurement is completed, all measured values are stored and analyzed. Each measurement is stored for each individual and used for patient care. If future data is accumulated and big data is generated, it will be possible to set a standard through which the comparison can be helpful for diagnosis and treatment of patients. When the data for each disease is accumulated, the degree of the pain according to the pain duration for each disease can be known, and it is compared with the current pain of the patient to determine how severe it is. This will allow you to determine how and how to perform medication or neuropathy, and prevent over-treatment or insufficient treatment. As an example of the above, it is possible to establish the criteria for pain medication prescription by obtaining the average pain data according to the pathology and onset period. (In the case of recoverable patients, it is recommended to reduce the pain medication resistance and maintain a healthy recovery by maintaining appropriate pain.) It is possible to obtain average pain data according to the lesion and progress of the cancer patient and to use it as an aid to analgesic dose. It is possible to establish a comparison standard that can broaden understanding and mutual understanding with the medical staff or patients (the company, family, friends, etc.). (Except for the degree of trauma that everyone can sympathize, in the case of difficult to see pain, the standard of expression that can be sympathetic to societies must be provided so that the patient can be protected, comforted and reliably treated properly.)

Follow-up of continuous changes in pain can identify the adaptation and compliance of the treatment. It is possible to find appropriate treatment for each individual by tracking and analyzing the degree of awareness and resolution of individual pain.
