This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain of a subject. A system may include a motion sensor configured to sense at least one functional signal indicative a physical state of the subject. The at least one functional signal may include at least one motor activity signal or at least one sleep state signal. A pain analyzer circuit may extract, from the functional signal, signal metrics indicative of subject motor control or kinetics, and generate a pain score using the signal metrics. The pain score may be output to a user or a process. The system may additionally include an electrostimulator to generate and deliver a closed-loop pain therapy according to the pain score. |
