Purpose | record level of pain |
The King's pain recorder is a device for patients to record their level of pain by illuminating a strip of light emitting diodes proportional to the pain they are feeling. It is one way of eliminating observer bias.[1] E. A. Welchew developed a similar system in 1982.[1][2]
