The "International Society for the Study of Pain"
defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience.
Pain is the cause of a many-layered interplay of bodily, psychological
and social triggers. According to this, the experiencing of
pain has a strong psychological component. Pain is felt in individual
intensity and quality as throbbing, stabbing, dull or light. |
A life without pain is unthinkable. Acute pains are warning
signals telling us, that something within our body isn't quite
right. They can aid in localising, treating and eradicating the causes.
Feeling pain thus constitutes a facet of our body's awareness and
self-protection. If an inflamed appendix didn't cause strong pain,
it would remain untreated and be life-threatening.
Throughout the world millions upon millions of people suffer from
pain of the most varied origins. A large part of these people is plagued
by chronic or frequently returning pain; due to this the quality of
life, lacking correct treatment,
is impaired to a large degree. |
