确定猫医学兽医专家之间就足以引起疼痛的核心体征（足以在疼痛发生时指示疼痛，但不一定存在于所有疼痛状况中）和疼痛所必需的核心体征（存在疼痛时必需，但不一定指示疼痛）达成共识的地方。使用了改良的德尔菲技术，包括2014年12月至2015年5月期间对19名参与者进行的四轮问题和评价。当80%的专家同意相同的意见时，就认为达成了一致。25个迹象被认为足以表明疼痛，但没有一个单一的迹象被认为是必要的it.further研究，以评估这25个行为的迹象的有效性，如果一个特定的疼痛评估工具，是能够评估猫的疼痛的基础上观察方法。尽管如此，这里报告的迹象可能有助于兽医和主人对他们照顾的猫的疼痛状况进行初步评估。
To identify where a consensus can be reached between veterinary experts in feline medicine on the core signs sufficient for pain (sufficient to indicate pain when they occur, but not necessarily present in all painful conditions) and necessary for pain (necessary in the presence of pain, but not always indicative of pain). A modified Delphi technique was used, consisting of four rounds of questions and evaluation using nineteen participants during the period December 2014 and May 2015. Agreement was considered to be established when 80% of the experts concurred with the same opinion. Twenty-five signs were considered sufficient to indicate pain, but no single sign was considered necessary for it. Further studies are needed to evaluate the validity of these 25 behavioural signs if a specific pain assessment tool is to be developed that is capable of assessing pain in cats based on observational methods alone. The signs reported here may nonetheless help both vets and owners form an initial evaluation of the pain status of cats in their care.
