Title: Method and system for recommending analogous pain treatment utilizing biomedical technology

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology and, in particular, relates to recommending analogous pain treatment utilizing biomedical technology accordingly. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Pain is a highly complex and multidimensional phenomenon that energizes an organism, regardless of real or apparent tissue damage, to take an action in relieving and alleviating its presence. The pain is an unpleasant feeling caused by intense or damaging stimuli such as stubbing a toe, burning a finger, putting alcohol on a cut and the like. One can consider the pain to be a stressor and environment challenge that requires the organism to respond. It may be categorized according to various factors including type of damage, time for healing and the like. On the basis of the time for healing, some may classify the pain can be categorized as a chronic pain and an acute pain. The acute pain shows a sudden and sharp onset, whereas in the chronic pain, the sensation of pain remains for a long period even after the injury has healed. However, both the chronic pain and the acute pain are extremely important problems leading to loss of working capabilities, financial resources and the like. 
     The other classifications of the pain include nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. For example, the nociceptive pain is a discomfort experienced as a result of an injury. The injury may include but not be limited to a paper cut, a broken bone, appendicitis and the like. The neuropathic pain is associated with an injury to a nerve or central nervous system. Such injuries can give rise to paresthesia. For example, the paresthesia may include but not be limited to numbness, tingling, “pins &amp; needles” sensation, electrical sensations and the like. 
     Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in most parts of the world. It is a major symptom in many medical conditions and can significantly interfere with a person&#39;s quality of life and general day-to-day functioning. The intensity of pain experienced by individuals is modulated according to psychological factors (for example, mood, attention, distraction and the like), biological factors (for example, sex, genetics and the like) and social factors (for example, marital status, social support and the like). Thus, the experience of pain depends on inter-individual variability. Therefore, pain management is an extremely important issue. Pain management requires approaches to measure and map pain. An effective pain management system can be an important contribution to manage and avoid the pain experienced by the individuals. 
     Presently, it is known that functional interactions exist between systems controlling cardiovascular functions and systems modulating perception of the pain. In addition, there are relationships between pain stimuli and autonomic reactions. Some changes happen in body due to reaction of autonomic nervous system (hereinafter ‘ANS’) to the pain. For example, blood pressure (hereinafter ‘BP’), heart rate (hereinafter ‘HR’), heart rate variability (hereinafter ‘HRV’) and the like. These interactions are important for diagnosing and regulating the pain. For example, the HRV can be used as an important indicator of the ANS reactivity to nociceptive stimulation. Some changes happen due to response of somatic nervous system to the pain which may include fidgeting or moving some limb of the body or any other type of physical movement under the pain. However, presently, there is no method and system that studies these relationships and the interactions to guide appropriate treatment, care, lifestyle and the like for healthy response in the individuals with respect to various forms of pain whether nociceptive, or neuropathic. Additionally, there is no method and system to effectively monitor the intensity of the pain experienced by the individuals. Furthermore, there is no method and system that helps the physician to treat the individuals based on prior references with the pain. 
     In light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for a method and system that overcomes the above stated disadvantages.
