A review of domestic and foreign literary sources on the problem of assessing pain syndrome (PS) in clinical practice was carried out. Chronic PS (CPS) poses a problem not only for the patient, but also for the attending physician, since it is more difficult to describe and evaluate in comparison with acute heart disease, and it is also more difficult to treat with pharmacotherapy. CPS is not a symptom of the underlying disease, but a separate complex symptom complex. PS remains one of the main problems in medicine; in connection with this, the development of new methods that allow an adequate assessment of the intensity of pain, taking into account the characteristics of a particular patient, is currently an urgent issue. All existing methods, from questionnaires to the latest instrumental methods for assessing pain, have certain advantages and disadvantages, but none of them can sufficiently fully objectify pain sensations. This indicates the importance of finding a solution to this problem – improving objective methods for assessing PS.
Keywords:
