Abstract:
This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain of a subject. A system may include a sensor circuit configured to sense a respiration signal and a heart rate signal. A pain analyzer circuit may determine respiratory cycles and respiratory phases in a respiratory cycle, and generate one or more signal metrics indicative of respiration-mediated heart rate variation. The pain analyzer may generate a pain score using the signal metrics indicative of respiration-mediated heart rate variation. The pain score may be output to a user or a process. The system may include an electrostimulator to generate and deliver closed-loop pain therapy according to the pain score.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for managing pain of a patient using an implantable neuromodulator device (IND), the method comprising:\n sensing a respiration signal and a heart rate signal from the patient via a sensor circuit; generating one or more signal metrics indicative of respiration-mediated heart rate variation using the sensed respiration signal and the heart rate signal; generating a pain score based on the generated one or more signal metrics indicative of respiration-mediated heart rate variation; and outputting the pain score to a user or a process.
