The solution of many clinical problems, including the issues of the origin of pain as a component of individual pathologies, lies in the plane of quantitative objectification of the underlying disease and elucidation of the role of pain syndrome (PS) in it. The analysis of literature data on methods of pain assessment, including quantitative scales and questionnaires, biochemical and instrumental studies, was carried out. Various PS correlates used in fundamental and applied research are considered. The neurophysiological mechanisms of pain formation and specific methods for assessing PS in endometriosis were studied.
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.
