Analysis of Facial Expressions for Pain Recognition in Fibromyalgia: Using Artificial Intelligence and Biomarkers
Sponsor: Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Minas Gerais
Summary
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome with characteristics of generalized body pain, low pain threshold, tenderness and stiffness in muscles, tendons and joints. The assessment of pain in this condition is a challenge due to its subjective nature. A promising approach to assessing pain intensity is facial expression analysis, which can serve as an objective indicator. In addition, research seeks to identify molecular molecular markers to quantify pain. However, the lack of a standardized system has made it difficult to identify reliable markers. In summary, the search for objective methods of assessing pain in fibromyalgia is essential in order to develop more effective more effective treatments. Facial expression analysis and the investigation of molecular markers are promising ways of quantifying pain intensity more accurately and intensity of pain more accurately and reliably in fibromyalgia.
