Abstract animations for the communication and assessment of pain in adults: cross-sectional feasibility study.
The aim of this study was to develop and test Painimation, a novel tool that uses graphic visualizations and animations instead of words or numeric scales to assess pain quality, intensity, and course. The study concluded that using animations may be a faster and more patient-centered method for assessing pain and is not limited by age, literacy level, or language; however, more data are needed to assess the validity of this approach.
