In the pain department, the doctor conducted an infrared thermal imaging examination for Mr. Zhang. During the inspection, non-invasive operations were required. Mr. Zhang only had to stand in front of the infrared thermal imaging, and the instrument quickly captured the thermal radiation distribution map of his whole body. 

The results showed that Mr. Zhang's shoulder and neck area showed obvious temperature abnormalities, which were in sharp contrast with the surrounding healthy tissue. This finding directly pointed to the specific location of pain and possible pathological changes. Combining Mr. Zhang's medical history and symptom description, the doctor used the information provided by infrared thermal imaging to further confirm the cause of the pain - chronic shoulder and neck myofasciitis. Subsequently, based on the degree and scope of inflammation shown in the infrared thermal images, a targeted treatment plan was developed, including microwave, medium frequency, and personalized rehabilitation training plans with medication. After a period of treatment, Mr. Zhang underwent another infrared thermal imaging review. The results showed that the temperature abnormalities in the shoulder and neck area had been significantly improved and the pain was significantly reduced. Mr. Zhang was very satisfied with the treatment effect. He said with emotion: "Infrared thermal imaging technology allowed me to intuitively see the pain condition of my body for the first time, and it also made me full of confidence in the treatment."

Pain, as a common health problem in human life, often makes people feel uncomfortable. The Pain Department, a department specializing in pain-related diseases, has been committed to providing patients with effective diagnosis and treatment options. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, infrared thermal imaging technology has gradually been applied to pain departments, providing a new perspective for the diagnosis and treatment of pain. Infrared thermal imaging technology, as the name suggests, is a technology that receives the infrared radiation energy emitted by the measured target and converts it into a visible thermal image. Because the metabolism and blood circulation of various parts of the human body are different, the heat generated will also be different. Infrared thermal imaging technology uses this principle to capture the thermal radiation on the surface of the human body and convert it into intuitive images, thereby revealing the temperature changes in painful areas. In the pain department, the application of infrared thermal imaging technology is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Accurate positioning

Infrared thermal imaging technology can help doctors locate painful areas more accurately. Because pain is often accompanied by changes in local blood circulation, the temperature of the painful area will also change accordingly. Through infrared thermal imaging technology, doctors can clearly observe the temperature distribution of painful areas, thereby more accurately determining the source and nature of pain. "

Assess severity

Infrared thermography can also be used to assess the severity of pain. By comparing the temperature difference between painful areas and non-painful areas, doctors can initially judge the severity of pain and provide a basis for formulating treatment plans.

Evaluate treatment effects

Infrared thermography can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of pain treatments. During the treatment process, doctors can regularly observe changes in infrared thermal images to evaluate the effect of treatment and adjust the treatment plan according to the actual situation to achieve better treatment results.

Infrared thermal imaging technology has the advantages of being non-invasive, painless and non-contact, so it has been widely welcomed in the application of pain department. Compared with traditional pain diagnosis methods, infrared thermal imaging technology is not only more intuitive and accurate, but also can provide patients with a more comfortable and safer examination experience.
