  Sure, I know nothing about this. Can you do some kind of brain scan while you poke someone in the injury, see what kind of pain registers?

    That's pretty much what would be involved. "You say 'it hurts'. Let's see what your brain says". Probably in few years time these new "quantum diamond NV centers" will be able to do this in a doctor's office. https://phys.org/news/2016-12-neural-quantum-sensors.html https://phys.org/news/2016-12-neural-quantum-sensors.html

    Medasense seems to have a solution for that, without actually requiring a brain scan. The technology was developed for assessing pain/discomfort of unconscious people - who can't participate in the "which face best describes you" assessment game
