System and method for assessment of multidimensional pain

A system for quantifying a pain condition of a patient, comprising:

• a means for acquiring a pain episode data for the patient;
• a means for performing pain assessment for the patient;
• and
• a means for generating a multidimensional pain score that quantifies a pain condition for the patient.

A system that quantifies a pain condition of a patient, comprising:

• a description input mechanism that prompts the collection of patient pain episode data;
• a pain assessment mechanism that assesses the pain episode data for the patient;
• and
• a pain score generation mechanism that generates a multidimensional pain score from the pain episode data to quantify a pain condition for the patient.

A computer readable medium having a program for generating a multidimensional pain score to quantify a pain condition of a patient, comprising:

• a logic that prompts the collection of patient pain episode data;
• a logic that assesses the pain episode data for the patient;
• and
• a logic that generates a multidimensional pain score from the pain episode data to quantify a pain condition for the patient.
