Heartbeat monitor could give voice to silent suffering

NCT ID NCT05454202

Summary

This study tested a simple, non-invasive heart rate monitor (called ANI) to see if it could accurately detect pain and discomfort in patients who are unable to communicate, such as those receiving end-of-life palliative care. Researchers compared the monitor's readings to pain assessments made by nurses during a routine care session. The goal was to find a better, objective way to ensure these vulnerable patients are kept comfortable.
