This report describes the design and use of a mobile "Pain Microcomputer System" (PMS). As a mobile clinical and laboratory research tool the PMS integrates four functions: (1) psychophysical measurement of behavioral pain responses; (2) psychophysiologic recording, including brain evoked potentials, cortical power spectrum analysis, EKG and EMG; (3) data acquisition, analysis and display; (4) peripheral communications via modem allows interaction with larger computers for more complex data analyses, extensive graphics, etc. A word processor disk facilitates writing of scientific and clinical reports. Present and future capabilities of the system for comprehensive pain research and patient care are discussed.
本报告描述了一种便携式“疼痛微机系统”（PMS）的设计与应用。作为一种便携式临床和实验室研究工具，PMS集成了四项功能：（1）行为疼痛反应的心理物理学测量；（2）心理生理学记录，包括脑诱发电位、皮质功率谱分析、心电图和肌电图；（3）数据采集、分析和显示；（4）通过调制解调器进行外围通信，以便与大型计算机交互，进行更复杂的数据分析、生成大量图表等。文字处理磁盘便于撰写科学和临床报告。文中还讨论了该系统在全面疼痛研究和患者护理方面的现有及未来功能。
