LITERATURE REVIEW: PAIN AND PAIN MANAGEMENT

Dr Priyanka N, Shalini S

Abstract :

Pain is the most common symptom of disease, which accompanies us from an early age. It is a protective mechanism to which the body responds to harmful stimulus. The feeling of pain can be caused by irritation of pain receptors or nociceptors, which can be found in the skin, joints and many internal organs. Pain receptors are sensitive to mechanical, thermal or chemical stimuli. The operation of noxious stimulus to these receptors results in the processing into an electrical signal. This impulse is conducted by nerve fies into the spinal cord and then to the ain. At this point, there is the realization that something hurts us. The goal of pain therapies is to relieve pain whenever possible: from nociception to the conscious experience as well as to decrease the emotional response to the unpleasant experience. Nociception should be treated even in unconscious patients who appear to be clinically unresponsive to pain to help prevent sensitization of pain pathways which can lead to chronic pain. Therefore, this review article aims to put in place a thorough understanding of major pain conditions that we experience—nociceptive, Physiology and treatment and management of pain.
