Pain is a natural stimulation to protect the whole body. An overreaction to pain can damage the tissues. Therefore, it is important to know the angle at which pain is felt when routinely measuring joint range of motion during the first examination. Detection of pain with the change in characteristics of electroencephalogram signals at the moments when pain occurs is the novelty of this study. The characteristics of the signal with power band changes were obtained by frequency analysis of the electroencephalogram signals. Pain was detected by classifying these characteristics with the Long Short Term Memory deep learning model. Validation of the model was performed with records obtained from 43 volunteer subjects with a 14-channel wireless Emotive brand electroencephalogram device. 96.1% success in binary classification as with pain or without pain and 89.6% success in multi-class classification as with high pain, low pain and without pain was achieved. This success is a quality that can support specialists in diagnosis and treatment by determining the threshold where pain occurs during the first physical therapy examination from the electroencephalogram signals.
Ağrı, tüm vücudu korumak için doğal bir uyarıdır. Bu uyarıya karşı gösterilecek aşırı reaksiyon, dokuda hasarlara neden olmaktadır. İlk muayenede rutin olarak eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) ölçümünde ağrının hissedildiği açının bilinmesi önemlidir. Ağrının oluştuğu anlardaki EEG sinyallerindeki güç değişimi ile ağrının tespiti bu çalışmanın yeniliğidir. EEG sinyallerinin frekans analizi ile güç bandı değişimleri ile sinyale ait özellikler elde edilmiştir. Bu özellikler LSTM derin öğrenme modeli ile sınıflandırılarak ağrı tespit edilmiştir. Modelin doğrulanması bu çalışma kapsamında 43 gönüllü hastadan, 14 kanallı kablosuz Emotive marka EEG cihazıyla alınan kayıtlar ile yapılmıştır. İkili sınıflandırmada %96,1 çoklu sınıflandırmada ise %89,6’lik başarı elde edilmiştir. Bu başarı, ilk fizik tedavi muayenesi sırasında ağrının oluştuğu eşiğin EEG sinyallerinden belirlemesiyle uzmanları tanı ve tedavide destekleyebilecek bir niteliktir.
