Abstract:

Objective: To map the scientific literature on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing chronic pain, the leading cause of disability worldwide. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The search for articles was carried out in MEDLINE, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS, CENTRAL, Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library, and arXiv. The descriptors "Chronic Pain" and its synonyms were combined with "Artificial Intelligence" or "Machine Learning" or their synonyms. Results: Initially, 2767 articles were identified, and 109 studies were selected and analyzed. The volume of scientific production has been increasing over the years. Most AI algorithms used focused on classifying individuals by type of chronic pain and predicting risk groups. Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Neural Networks, Logistic Regression, and K-means were the most used algorithms. Few studies focused on AI use in Primary Health Care (PHC). Conclusion: The potential of AI to prevent and improve chronic pain management is highlighted, but there is still a significant lack of studies focused on PHC, the gateway to the SUS and a privileged sector for prevention and proper management of the problem.
