The most universal behavioural indicators of pain in these patients are frowning, sudden eye opening and limb flexion. However, behavioural indicators are often blunted by the level of consciousness, sedation or severity of injury. Conversely, physiological parameters lack diagnostic specificity and might be confounded by autonomic nervous system instability or medications. Emerging advanced technologies offer an objective approach to the nociception process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinicians should be cautious while assessing pain in brain\u2010injured patients; a low pain score may be a false negative caused by the inability to react rather than an actual absence of pain.
