PainQx, Inc.

PainQx, with the support of the Department of Defense (Contract #W81XWH-21-C-0034), is conducting a study to collect electroencephalography (EEG) data from people with chronic pain in order to develop algorithms than will objectively assess the pain a person is experiencing. EEG is a monitoring method that records electrical activity in the brain. If enrolled in the study, subjects will be asked to answer a series of questions regarding their level of chronic pain, level of functionality, symptoms, behavioral health information, and medications, and subsequently have a 15 minute, non-invasive EEG recording taken by placing electrodes along the scalp. Through participation, chronic pain subjects will provide data needed to further develop this technology.

PainQx is conducting a study to collect electroencephalography (EEG) data from 250 people with chronic pain and 50 healthy controls in order to develop algorithms that will objectively assess the level of pain a person is experiencing.

Obtained 19 lead EEG data from 50 chronic pain patients along with their clinical history and self-reported pain scored. Machine learning was used to analyze the EEG data and derive a chronic pain biomarker.
