- Breakthrough pain: Temporary, moderate to severe pain despite ongoing treatment.
- Chronic pain: Pain lasting 6 months or longer, potentially intermittent or continuous.
- Cutaneous pain: Superficial pain involving skin or subcutaneous tissue.
- Endorphins: Morphine-like substances altering pain perception.
- Enkephalins: Opioids reducing pain sensation by substance P inhibition.
- Exacerbation: Period in chronic illness with symptom return.
- Gate control theory: Pain stimuli blockage through inhibiting signals.
- Intractable pain: Severe, resistant pain.
- Modulation: Process inhibiting or modifying pain sensation.
- Neuromodulators: Endogenous opioid chemicals altering pain perception.
- Neuropathic pain: Pain result of abnormal nervous system function.
- Nociceptors: Pain receptors.
- Opioid: More accurate term for narcotic analgesics focusing on receptor binding.
- Pain threshold: Stimulation level for pain experience.
- Pain tolerance: Point where individuals stop enduring pain.
- Perception: Organising sensory input into meaningful information.
- Phantom pain: Pain without physiological cause, often after limb loss.
- Physical dependence: Body adjusting to opioid, causing withdrawal if stopped abruptly.
- Placebo: Inactive substance providing pain relief due to expectation.
- Referred pain: Pain felt in a different area than the source.
- Remission: Period in chronic illness where symptoms are absent.
- Somatic pain: Pain in external body wall structures.
- Tolerance: Body adjusting to opioid requiring higher doses for effect.
- Transmission: Conduction of pain from injury site to higher brain centers.
- Transduction: Activation of nerve receptors for pain sensation.
