What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This single-center, non-profit, observational-interventional study aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models for the automatic assessment of chronic pain (APA - Automatic Pain Assessment). The study will enroll adult patients with chronic pain of various origins (oncologic and non-oncologic). Participants will undergo multidimensional evaluations that include clinical assessments, self-report questionnaires, bio-signal collection (e.g., EEG, EDA, HRV, GSR, PPG), and facial expression analysis via infrared thermography and video recordings. The primary objective is to calibrate and test machine learning and deep learning models to recognize and predict the presence and severity of pain using multimodal data inputs. Secondary objectives include evaluating the effectiveness of pain treatments, assessing quality of life, and developing a standardized APA dataset for future researc
