“…Assessing NPRS ETI 's usability is also of utmost importance. The comfort and usability of medical devices, with their increasing human-machine interface, have been a focus of increasing research attention [30,61]. This is especially important as eye tracker-integrated pain scales necessitate calibration and additional components (e.g., gaze-directed pain rating may be incorporated in the scale) and are, therefore, more cognitively demanding than conventional unidimensional pain scales.…”

“…Similarly, we integrated an eye tracker with the MOXO-dCPT, an established continuous performance test (CPT) and found support for the utility of combining conventional and eye movement measures to enhance the diagnosis of ADHD and detection of feigned ADHD-associated cognitive impairment [25][26][27]. Overall, eye trackers-integrated medical appliances and similar novel technologies offer to provide objective psychophysiological data that may aid clinical practice, a prospect we hoped to capitalize on in the current project [28][29][30].…”

This chapter details the integration of a Numerical Rating Scale (NPRSETI) with a portable eye tracker, enabling the assessment of pain in conditions in which verbal communication and use of hands are limited (e.g., advanced Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS). After detailing the construction of the NPRSETI, we describe its validation in an outpatient pain clinic. More specifically, thirty chronic pain patients performed the NPRSETI and filled a conventional NPRS (order was pseudo-randomized). Eye movements, including gaze direction and additional eye movement measures (e.g., saccade rate), were recorded, while participants rated their pain using the NPRSETI. The study’s findings indicated no significant differences in pain severity ratings of the NPRSETI and conventional NPRS. Notably, ratings using the two scales were highly correlated (r = 0.99). NPRSETI’s ratings were also strongly associated with participants’ currently experienced pain rating using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The findings provide initial proof of concept for integrating conventional pain rating scales with an eye tracker and validate the NPRSETI compared with the well-validated and commonly used NPRS. Enhanced usability and decreasing costs of eye trackers will ease the additional research mandated to validate these preliminary findings and hopefully advance their integration into clinical practice.
