Advancing Pain Medicine with AI and Neural Networks: Predictive Analytics and Personalized Treatment Plans for Chronic and Acute Pain Managements

Abstract

There is a growing body of evidence that the number of individuals suffering from chronic and acute pain is under-reported and the burden of the veteran, aging, athletic, and working populations is rising. Current pain management is limited by our capacity to collaborate with individuals continuing normal daily functions and self-administration of pain treatments outside of traditional healthcare appointments and hospital settings. In this review, the current gap in clinical care for real-time feedback and guidance with pain management decision-making for chronic and post-operative pain treatment is defined. We examine the recent and future applications for predictive analytics of opioid use after surgery and implementing real-time neural networks for personalized pain management goal setting for particular individuals on the path to discharge to normal function. Integration of personalized neural networks with longitudinal data may enable the development of future treatment personalizations paired with electrical simulations.
