Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing pain in a subject are disclosed. The system can receive pain data indicative of pain in the subject, such as a patient pain drawing or a dermatome map. A processor circuit can use the pain data to generate a plurality of pain descriptors indicative of pain intensity, spatial extent of pain, or temporal pattern of pain. The processor can use the pain descriptors to produce a composite pain score that quantifies overall pain of the subject. The system can include an output unit that can produce a presentation of information about the pain in the subject including the composite pain score.
