Pain is sorted by where it starts and how long it has run. Set the real features of a case below, or load one. The model adds up the evidence and names the mechanism, with the fit for each one shown as a number.
The three mechanisms the winner glows
Somatic pain starts in the body wall. Visceral pain starts in an organ. Neuropathic pain starts in the damaged nerve itself.
How the features add up live fit
Each feature pushes the score of a mechanism up or down. The bars show the fit after every feature is counted.
Acute or chronic the 3 month line
Acute pain fades as tissue heals. Pain past about three months is called chronic, and the nervous system itself has often changed by then.
