Self-monitoring as an assessment strategy in behavioral medicine
Article Abstract:
Self-monitoring can play a valuable role in behavioural medicine. It can be very significant in assessing symptoms and in providing a measure of intermediate endpoints. Furthermore, it can be used to measure signs at the physiological and biochemical levels. One of the main symptoms to which self-monitoring is applied in behavioural medicine is the subjective condition of pain. There are still many uncertainties regarding methodological issues within the area of self-monitoring and behavioural medicine assessment.
