Mechanism of Pain

Medically speaking, pain is an uncomfortable sensation that usually signals an injury or illness. But how do our bodies recognize pain ?

Types of Pain

How would you describe your pain ?

Acute Pain

This is short-lived pain warning the body that damage is occurring. It is a symptom of injury or disease at the tissue level and tends to resolve as the injury or disease does

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain (pain that has persisted for 6 months or more) can be caused by ongoing tissue damage. However, in some cases no physical cause for the pain can be found. In many cases chronic pain is a disorder rather than being the symptom of a disease process.

Nociceptive pain

Nociceptive pain is caused by any injury to body tissues, for example, a cut, burn or fracture (broken bone). Postoperative pain and cancer pain are other forms of nociceptive pain. This type of pain can be aching, sharp or throbbing.

Neuropathic Pain

This is caused by abnormalities in the system that carries and interprets pain — the problem may be in the nerves, spinal cord or brain.Neuropathic pain is felt as a burning, tingling, shooting or electric sensation.

Psychogenic pain

This type of pain is caused or worsened by psychological factors.Often the pain has a physical cause, but the degree of pain and disability are out of proportion to what would be experienced by most people with a similar disorder.

Sometimes its more than just a bad headache
