Klinische Schmerzmessung

  • P. Nilges
Chapter

Zusammenfassung

Schmerzmessung ist die Voraussetzung für Diagnostik, Behandlung und wissenschaftliche Erforschung von Schmerz. Stärken und Schwächen der verschiedenen Methoden werden dargestellt und verglichen. Daraus lassen sich Empfehlungen ableiten, die zweckmäßig und aussagekräftig sind, die den klinischen Alltag erleichtern und zur Verbesserung der Qualität in der Patientenversorgung beitragen. Dargestellt werden Gründe für Irritationen und Missverständnisse bei der Bearbeitung von Schmerzmessverfahren durch Patienten, aber auch typische Beurteilerfehler bei der Interpretation der Ergebnisse.
