Exploration of physiological sensors, features, and machine learning models for pain intensity estimation.

In current clinical settings, typically pain is measured by a patient's self-reported information. This subjective pain assessment results in suboptimal treatment plans, over-prescription of opioids, and drug-seeking behavior among patients. In the present study, we explored automatic objective...
