MoNOLog: Nociception-Level (NOL) for the Assessment of Pain in Patient Unable to Self-Report
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study we aimed to investigate the performance and effectiveness of NOL and/or NOLedge as a tool for pain assessment in geriatric and critical ill non communicating patients.
Our hypothesis was that NOL and the NOLedge may have good correlation with the health-care professional assessment PAINAD, BPS values, even with the use of the drugs affecting autonomic nervous system.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy outcome [5 months]
To identify what information is currently elicited and used by clinicians when detecting and managing pain.
- Efficacy outcome [5 months]
To assess the feasibility of the current NOL algorithm (PMD200 vs. NOLedge) for pain management in the study population.
- Efficacy outcome [5 months]
To collect data to improve the performance of the NOL algorithm in the study population
- Efficacy outcome [10 months]
The ability of the NOL index to discriminate between periods of painful and non-painful periods
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy outcome [10 months]
NOL-index performance to detect pain in comparison to PAINAD, BPS pain scores
