Définition

  • Pain is a complex biopsychosocial and culturally influenced phenomenon and has been a focus of medicine since ancient times. Although experienced by the sufferer as a noxious sensation, pain sometimes performs a useful function by alerting the individual to a bodily threat that requires immediate action (taking your hand off a hot stove or avoiding putting weight on a broken bone) or that acts as a signal for a more complex threat (e.g., pain may be a symptom of cancer).
