Pain is an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage (IASP, 1983). There are several types of pain: acute pain, which is short-term, such as post-traumatic pain or pain following surgery, and chronic pain, which requires a more comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
