Since 2017, the diagnosis of patients with orofacial pain at the University Center for Dental Medicine Basel has been supplemented by using standardized image graphics (Dolografie® [Affolter/Rüfenacht, Bern, Switzerland]). For this purpose, patients select from aset of 34cards those that visually best match their pain and then explain the reason for their choice. (1) How many cards are selected on average? (2) Do sex and age influence the choice of cards? (3) Are there preferences in the choice of cards? (4) Are there correlations between pain diagnostic categories (e.g., musculoskeletal versus neuropathic orofacial pain) and the cards selected? (4) Are there correlations between pain diagnostic categories (e.g., musculoskeletal versus neuropathic orofacial pain) and the selected cards? The available complete pain anamnestic data of 143patients were evaluated. (1) Patients selected an average of 3.5 cards to describe their pain. Up to six cards were sufficient for adetailed description of pain in almost all patients. With the 16 most frequently chosen cards, the majority of patients were able to adequately describe their pain. (2) Sex and age had no influence on the number of selected cards. (3) There were clear preferences Card02 was chosen most often (45times), followed by cards05 and 13 (27times each). (4) Adifferentiating choice was made most clearly in neuropathic pain by astrong preference for card28 and adisregard of card18. The use of standardized image cards as a"visual communication tool" has proven to be atime-efficient procedure in the context of history taking, which helps to obtain clinically relevant information not previously expressed by the patient.
