In this chapter we review the anatomy and physiology of pain pathways. We also discuss some of the physiological processes that modify the pain experience and that may contribute to the development of chronicity. For obvious reasons, most of this information comes from animal experiments.

A nociceptor (from Latin nocere 'to harm or hurt'; lit. 'pain receptor') is a sensory neuron that responds to damaging or potentially damaging stimuli by sending "possible threat" signals [1] [2] [3] to the spinal cord and the brain.
Nociception triggers a variety of physiological and behavioral responses to protect the organism against an aggression, and usually results in a subjective experience, or perception, of pain in sentient beings.
PainPathways is the first, only and ultimate pain magazine. First published in spring 2008, PainPathways is the culmination of the vision of Richard L. Rauck, MD, to provide a shared resource for people living with and caring for others in pain.
Sep 10, 2023 · There are many different types of pain, each arising through unique mechanisms. Types of pain include: sharp, prickling, thermal, or aching pain.

When classifying pain, it is important to determine if pain is centrally mediated (e.g. central sensitisation, central nervous system injury (e.g. spinal cord injury, stroke, myelopathy), complex regional pain syndrome), peripherally mediated (e.g. sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome) or both.
