Why use KLONK Image Measure Light for a computerrized assessment of pain drawings?

KLONK Image Measurement Light can be used to quantify the pain area in Pain Drawings in order to make repeated measurements of pain distributions between different time periods (before and after treatment and rehabilitation of patients with chronic pain) and different groups of patients to improve the treatment of pain.

Sample of pain drawing.

Since pain drawings with this method are digitized, high quality data without loss of information is possible to store in electronic medical records for later analysis, both regarding precise location and size of pain area.

How to measure the size of a pain area

In order to use the KLONK Quantify Image Light tool to measure the size of pain areas you must follow the following procedure:

• Register and download the Free KLONK Image Measurement Light software.
• Scan the Pain Drawing into KLONK Image Measurement Light software.
• Select a firm calibration for the height of the person or calibrate the pain drawing with the known lenght of each person.
• If the user should enter their pain areas directly into the application you must import a template of the pain drawing into the application.
• Draw the pain areas.

After measuring the size of the wound and saving the image, you can share the measurement and the pain drawing, with other users of KLONK Image Measurement Light.

If many measurements should be handled in large clinics or research projects, we recommend the Larger version of our Image measurement software KLONK Image Measurement Central. It includes report generation, area tracking curves and stores images in a database for better statistical handling. It even comes as a mulituser system so that many can do measurements at a time and Images and measurements done with KLONK Image Measurement Light can be imported into the tool.
