Detecting Feigned Pain Using an Eye‐Tracker Integrated Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

open access: yesPain Practice, Volume 25, Issue 7, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is routinely used to assess pain severity. A recently developed NPRS integrated the pain scale with an eye tracker (NPRSETI). As part of this study, we explored the NPRSETI's utility to detect feigned pain, an ongoing challenge facing clinicians. To achieve this aim, chronic pain outpatients were randomly
