About this study

The overarching aim is to generate knowledge to reduce incidence of pain in non-verbal patients' everyday life. The trial will 1) evaluate how HR can be used to identify potentially painful care procedures that should be re-evaluated in terms of the approach taken; 2) test the effect of heart rate (HR)-informed changes in potentially painful care procedures on biomarkers of pain, and 3) assess how six weeks of communication through HR affects the quality of communication between patient and caregiver.
