[Computerized documentation of the topicality of pain].
The exact and objective classification and documentation of pain is a difficult problem which is not easy to overcome. Therefore it seems necessary to reduce as for as possible all mistakes resulting from misunderstandings between pain information given by the patient and documentation carried out by the physician. Therefore a system should contribute to simplify the documentation of pain localisation. By means of dividing the human body into regions and numbering the pain-areas even computer documentation becomes feasible. Thus the standardization of pain area documentation permits its application as parameter in research projects with a large number of cases.
