In this study, a new evaluation method was attempted to investigate onomatopoeia for "so-called" various bipolar pains. The 50 research participants of the elderly group were asked to select onomatopoeia that would represent pain of a particular feature with the bipolar numerical evaluation method. Research participants were then asked to enter a numerical value between 0 and 100 in one of the left and right columns specified by which of the "so-called" bipolar pains they would indicate. Researchers presented participants with 30 of the more than 100 candidates for onomatopoeia that represent specific “so-called” bipolar pain. Then, the ratio of each onomatopoeia selected as the onomatopoeia representing the characteristics of 12 types of pain and the average evaluation value when expressing various types of pain were investigated. The results of this study suggest that there are relatively few Japanese onomatopoeias that represent some of the pain characteristics. The possibility of different numbers of onomatopoeia meeting the specified criteria for different age groups was also investigated. The characteristics and improvements of this new research method were discussed.
