6. A method for management of pain in a subject, comprising:
acquiring heart-related biomedical signals in said subject,
transforming the acquired heart-related biomedical signals during a given period of time into signal data for measurement of pain by performing frequency domain conversion for each given period of time of heart-related biomedical signals to form frequency domain signal data,
analyzing the frequency domain signal data in relation to pre-determined modeled data having relationship between frequency domain heart-related signals and pain, wherein the pre-determined modeled data includes at least a pain model which is defined by a peak-shaped profile in frequency domain data and a non-pain model which is defined by a flat profile in frequency domain data, generating an index of pain using the results of the analysis, and determining a pain status of the subject based on the index of pain, and
delivering an analgesic agent to the subject based on the pain status and the index of pain.
