Dolografie can be easily combined with other methods of communication and diagnosis.

Fields of application

Dolografie can, alone or in combination, be applied in different areas of pain therapy:

–

– as a helpful tool during pain anamnesis

– improving communication between patient and therapist during pain treatment

– as a complement to other pain therapeutic procedures

– for educational purposes

– to instruct patients

– in the field of counseling / coaching

– during single- and group therapy

Dolografie addresses all age groups above young adults and due to its visual nature.

Application

Patients are presented Dolografie image cards in random order and are asked to choose the ones that visualise their pain sensations best. They are then asked to explain their choices. Depending on the therapy situation the procedure can be modified for best practice.
