Welcome to the DoloTest® website     

Providing a clear picture of pain

Chronic pain occurs in one in five European adults and impacts significantly on a person's physical, emotional and social well-being1,2 yet it is often underestimated by physicians3,4,5 and its impact on quality of life is rarely assessed in clinical practice6,7,8. The DoloTest® has been developed to make the assessment of pain and its impact on quality of life quicker, easier and more meaningful for both healthcare professionals and patients.

The DoloTest provides an easy to understand pain profile, also known as the DoloTest-Profile, for both healthcare professionals and patients to use in:

•  Education
•  Communication

•  Monitoring the impact of pain on quality of life
•  Assessing the effectiveness of pain therapy
