Pain behaviors are external manifestations of experiencing pain, such as sighing or crying, verbal reports of pain, and also include pain severity behaviors such as resting, guarding, facial expressions, and asking for help. Pain behaviors have been associated with pain intensity17, disability17,18, depression16, and with the development of chronic pain18. Interest in how to measure pain behaviors in patients with pain has been growing in order to identify subgroups of patients that might benefit from tailored interventions15,28, or as a possible target for treatment in itself11.
