Why is it important?
By exploring electrodermal activity (EDA) as an objective tool, the paper offers insights into a promising method for enhancing pain assessment. It provides an overview of the association between EDA and pain pathways, recent advancements in EDA techniques, and its clinical applications. Additionally, it addresses current challenges and suggests future directions for research and practice.
Perspectives
This was a valuable opportunity to explore the use of electrodermal activity for pain assessment in much greater depth than I had previously known. I hope you gain new insights into EDA as a marker for assessing pain throughout this article.
