Automatic pain recognition from Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal using machine learning techniques [PDF]
Physiological responses to pain have received increasing attention among researchers for developing an automated pain recognition sensing system. Though less explored, Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) is one of the candidate physiological measures that could help objective pain assessment. In this study, we applied machine learning techniques on BVP signals to

Preoperative Prognosis Assessment of Lumbar Spinal Surgery for Low Back Pain and Sciatica Patients based on Multimodalities and Multimodal Learning [PDF]
Low back pain (LBP) and sciatica may require surgical therapy when they are symptomatic of severe pain. However, there is no effective measures to evaluate the surgical outcomes in advance. This work combined elements of Eastern medicine and machine learning, and developed a preoperative assessment tool to predict the prognosis of lumbar spinal surgery

Spontaneous back-pain alters randomness in functional connections in large scale brain networks: A random matrix perspective [PDF]
We use randomness as a measure to assess the impact of evoked pain on brain networks. Randomness is defined here as the intrinsic correlations that exist between different brain regions when the brain is in a task-free state. We use fMRI data of three brain states in a set of back pain patients monitored over a period of 6 months.

Spinopelvic Anatomic Parameters Prediction Model of NSLBP based on data mining [PDF]
Objective: The purpose of this study is to perform analysis through the low back pain open data set to predict the incidence of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSLBP) to obtain a more accurate and convenient sagittal spinopelvic parameter model. Methods: The logistic regression analysis and multilayer perceptron(MLP) algorithm is used to construct ...
