Pain is a natural stimulation to protect the whole body. An overreaction to pain can damage the tissues. Therefore, it is important to know the angle at which pain is felt when routinely measuring joint range of motion during the first examination. Detection of pain with the change in characteristics of electroencephalogram signals at the moments when pain occurs is the novelty of this study. The characteristics of the signal with power band changes were obtained by frequency analysis of the electroencephalogram signals. Pain was detected by classifying these characteristics with the Long Short Term Memory deep learning model. Validation of the model was performed with records obtained from 43 volunteer subjects with a 14-channel wireless Emotive brand electroencephalogram device. 96.1% success in binary classification as with pain or without pain and 89.6% success in multi-class classification as with high pain, low pain and without pain was achieved. This success is a quality that can support specialists in diagnosis and treatment by determining the threshold where pain occurs during the first physical therapy examination from the electroencephalogram signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
