The evaluation of pain allows the detection of medical conditions and defines the procedure to treat them. Medical staff measures pain by patient´s self-report. Nevertheless, in some cases, it is difficult or impossible for the patient to communicate the level of pain perceived. In these cases, it is useful to evaluate pain employing different techniques. In this paper, we propose the evaluation of pain through a procedure based on the analysis of the electroencephalographic signals. The algorithms were evaluated in an experiment with 14 participants where the pain was induced with an electrodiagnostic system. The participants were males and females between 18 and 33 years old. To classify between pain and no pain, we employed neural networks with an accuracy of 74,19 %.
