An unpleasant signal that something hurts, feels bad, or is an unpleasant physical feeling.

Pain that arises from stimulation of intact nerve fibers in the periphery and CNS.

Pain that arises from damage or dysfunction in the somatosensory nervous system.

The process of converting a noxious stimulus into a pain signal.

The transmission of the pain signal from the periphery to the spinal cord and then to the brain.

The conscious awareness of the pain sensation.

The modulation of the pain signal, where the body tries to reduce the intensity of the pain.

Specialized nerve endings that detect painful stimuli.

Pain originating from internal organs like the stomach, intestines, or gallbladder. It often feels dull, deep, squeezing, or cramping. It can be caused by injury, tumor, ischemia, distention, or severe contraction.

Pain originating from musculoskeletal tissues or body surfaces. Examples include pain from muscles, bones, joints, or skin. It's usually well localized.

Pain felt in a specific location but originating from a different site. An inflamed appendix causing pain in the belly button area is an example.

Pain felt in a limb that's been amputated. It's a real experience, even though the limb is missing.

Pain that's short-term and resolves after the injury heals. It follows a predictable course and disappears as the healing process completes.

Pain that lasts for 6 months or longer. It persists even after the injury has healed and can be categorized as malignant (cancer-related) or nonmalignant.

A sudden spike in pain intensity that occurs in someone with otherwise controlled pain. It can be caused by medication wearing off or other factors.

A method used to assess pain by considering factors like Onset, Location, Duration, Characteristics, Alleviating/Aggravating Factors, Radiating Factors, Timing, and Severity.

A method used to assess pain by considering factors like Provocative/Palliative, Quality/Quantity, Region/Radiation, Severity, Timing/Treatment, and Understanding.

A pain scale that uses numbers from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst possible pain.

A pain scale that uses words to describe the patient's pain experience, ranging from 'no pain' to 'unbearable pain'.

A pain scale that uses a 10cm line, where the patient marks their pain level from 'no pain' to 'maximum pain'.

A pain assessment tool used for infants and young children under 3 years old, evaluating their facial expressions, leg movements, activity, crying, and consolability.

A tool for assessing pain in children aged 4-5 years old. It shows different faces representing pain levels, allowing children to choose the face that best matches their pain.

A tool used to assess pain in infants by observing their behaviors and physiological cues.

A detailed pain questionnaire that asks patients to rate pain intensity and its impact on areas like mood, movement, and sleep. It's often used for chronic pain.

A questionnaire that asks patients to rank pain descriptors based on their intensity and provide an overall pain rating. It's used for more comprehensive pain assessment, often for chronic pain.
