Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of pain by ANI and its comparison with the Critical Pain Observation Tool-Neuro in severe TBI patientsTimepoint: Pain assessment will be done once a day, pre and post stimulus, on day 2 and day 4 of ICU admission

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Correlate nociceptive levels (ANI) with the level of consciousness (using Patient State Index/BIS/Entropy). 2. Correlate nociceptive levels (ANI) with the level of autonomic dysfunction (using Heart Rate variability). Timepoint: Correlation will be done using data collected on day 2 and day 4 of ICU admission
