The most vulnerable patients are those who cannot tell you how much pain they are experiencing. Newborns are an extremely vulnerable group in this regard. As a healthcare professional, you naturally want to provide the best possible care. But how do you deliver this without knowing how much pain the patient is actually experiencing?
The Medstorm PainSensor offers a solution. Medstorm technology provides accurate, real-time pain measurement by monitoring changes in skin conductance (SC) (Munsters et al., 2023). MedStorm's technology is based on 20 years of medical research and there are more than 80 supporting validation studies and 5 dissertations.
These studies show that the Medstorm PainSensor index increases during pain and noxious stimuli, and can even identify painful moments more sensitively and specifically (Munsters et al., 2023).
In addition, the Medstorm PainSensor index decreases when sedation and analgesia are administered (Karpe et al., 2013). This allows the need for sedation and analgesia to be precisely tailored and side effects from over- or under-medication to be reduced.
