The experience of pain is defined by the IASP as "An unpleasant aesthetic and emotional experience associated with, or similar to, associated with actual or potential tissue damage" and expands by adding six key points.
- Pain is always a personal experience influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological and social factors.
- Pain and nociception are different phenomena. The activity of sensory neurons alone is not sufficient to justify pain.
- Through their life experiences, individuals learn the meaning of pain.
- A person's report of an experience as pain should be respected.
- Although pain usually serves an adaptive role, it can have adverse effects on functioning and social and psychological well-being.
- Verbal description is only one of many behaviors that express pain, and the inability to communicate does not negate the possibility that a human or nonhuman being experiences pain.
Our treatments, taking into account all of the above, will help reduce the intensity and duration of your pain to the minimum possible. Your human psychological support and consultation will help improve your quality of life.
