Neuroanatomy of pain
Pain assessment
“An unpleasant physical and emotional
experience which signifies tissue damage or
potential for such damage” -IASP, 1979
• “An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual
or potential tissue damage,” and is expanded upon by the addition of six key Notes and the etymology of the
word pain for further valuable context.
1. Pain is always a personal experience that is influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological, and
social factors.
2. Pain and nociception
3. Through their life experiences, individuals learn the concept of pain.
4. A person’s report of an experience as pain should be respected.
5. Although pain usually serves an adaptive role, it may have adverse effects on function and social and
psychological well-being.
6. Verbal description is only one of several behaviors to express pain; inability to communicate does not
negate the possibility that a human or a nonhuman animal experiences pain.
“The uncomfortable sensation of pain has caused man to seek an explanation,
• What is Pain?
• Pain can be defined as a somatic sensation of acute discomfort, a
symptom of some physical hurt or disorder, or even emotional
distress.
• It is a common human experience therefore the idea of pain and pain
management appear throughout history
Pain is a crucial aspect of the body’s
defense mechanisms
What is
Pain? Pain “is a part of a rapid warning
relay instruction the motor neurons
of the central nervous system to
minimize detected physical harm
(2).”

What Causes Pain?
• Pain is caused by the stimulation of pain
receptors which are free nerve endings.
• “Nocireceptors are pain receptors that are
located outside the spinal column in the
dorsal root ganglion and are named based
upon their appearance at their sensory ends.
These sensory endings look like the branches
of small bushes( 2).”
• There are two types of nocireceptors that
mediate fast or slow pain signals
• The perception of pain is when these
receptors are stimulated and they transmit
signal to the central nervous system via
sensory neurons in the spinal cord.

Pain pathway
There are four processes in the pain pathway
1. Transduction
Noxious stimuli translated into electrical activity at sensory nerve
endings
2. Transmission
Propagation of impuses along spinothalic pathway
3. Modulation
Transmission is modified
4. Perception

Terminology of Pain
• Pain
An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience
associated with actual or potential tissue damage,
or described in terms of such damage.
• Allodynia
Pain due to a stimulus which does not normally
provoke pain.
• Analgesia
Absence of pain in response to stimulation which
would normally be painful.
• Anasthesia dolorosa
Pain in an area or region which is anasthetic.
• Causalgia
A syndrome of sustained burning pain, allodynia, and
hyperpathia after a traumatic nerve lesion, often
combined with vasomotor dan sudomotor dysfunction
and later trophic changes.
• Central Pain
Pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or
dysfunction in central nervous system.
• Dysesthesia
An unpleasant abnormal sensation, whether
spontaneous or evoked.
• Hyperalgesia
An increased response to a stimulus which is normally
painful.
• Hyperesthesia
Increased sensiticity to stimulation, excluding the special
senses.
• Hyperpathia
A painful syndrome characterized by an abnormally
painful reaction to a stimulus, especially a repetitive
stimulus, as well as an increased threshold.
• Hypoalgesia
Diminished pain in response to a normally painful
stimulus.
• Hypoesthesia
Decreased sensitivity to stimulation, excluding the
special senses.
• Neuralgia
Pain in the distribution of a nerve of nerves.
• Neuritis
Inflammation of nerve of nerves.
• Neurogenic Pain
Pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion,
dysfunction, or transitory perturbation in the
peripheral or central nervous system.
• Neuropathic Pain
Pain initiated or caused by primary lesion or
dysfunction in the nervous system.
• Neuropathy
A disturbance of function or pathological change in a
nerve: in one nerve, mononeuropathyl; in several
nerves, mononeuropathy multiplex; if diffuse and
bilateral, polyneuropathy.
• Nociceptor
A receptor preferentially sensitive to a noxious stimulus
or to a stimulus which would become noxious if
prolonged.
• Noxious Stimulus
A noxious stimulus is one which is damaging to normal
tissues.
• Pain Threshold
The least experience of pain which a subject can
recognize.
• Pain Tolerance Level
The greatest level of pain which a subject is
prepared to tolerate.
• Paresthesia
An abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or
evoked.
• Peripheral Neurogenic Pain
Pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or
dysfunction or transitory perturbation in the
peripheral nervous system.
• Peripheral Neuropathic Pain
Pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or
dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system.
PAIN CONTROL THEORY
PAIN CONTROL: THEORY
• Gate Control Theory
• Melzack and Wall 1965
• A non-painful stimulus can block the transmission of a painful stimulus
• Substantia Gelatinosa: dorsal horn; acts as a gate for sensory info; A-beta
fibers vs. A-delta and C fibers
• T Cells: transmission cell that connects sensory nerves to afferent tracts;
receives from SG
• Example: rubbing injury; modalities
Theory of pain production and modulation
LEVELS Pain
Control
I Mechanics
• Release of enkephalins into synapse
of nociceptive pathways
• Enkephalins believed to inhibit
release of Substance P
• Prohibits synaptic transmission of
pain
• Descending Influence Pain Control
• Higher brain centers modulate synaptic
transmission in dorsal horn
LEVELS
• Mechanics
• Stimulus is received in Peri-Aqueductal Gray
(PAG)
II
• Dorsolateral tract descends from RN and
synapse on enkephalin interneurons in lamina
II releasing serotonin
• Release of enkephalins into 1st and 2nd
order afferent nociceptive pathway
LEVELS THEORY: III
• Beta-Endorphin Mediated Pain Control
• Release of beta-endorphins has analgesic response
• Mechanics
• Hypothalamus is stimulated and synapses with PAG
• Beta-endorphin released and activates dorsolateral tract
• Serotonin released and enkephalin influence
• Can be initiated by long term (20-40 min) electrical stimulation (motor level)
• High intensity w/ long pulse duration
