		Pain is both a sensory and emotional experience, generally associated with tissue damage, or inflammation.
		Despite its unpleasantness, pain is a critical component of the body's defense system.It is part of a rapid warning and defense relay instructing the motor neuronsof the central nervous system to minimize detected physical harm.
		The interpretation of pain occurs when the nociceptors are stimulated andsubsequently transmit signals through sensory neurons in the spinal cord, which releases glutamate, a major exicitory neurotransmitter thatrelays signals from one neuron to another and ultimately to the thalamus, in whichpain perception occurs.

		If pain is defined as a signal of present or impending tissue damage effected by a harmful stimulus then the ability to experience pain or irritation is observable in most multi-cellular organisms.
		Visceral pain is extremely difficult to localise, and several injuries to visceral tissue exhibit "referred" pain, where the sensation is localised to an area completely unrelated to the site of injury.

	The Personality of Pain
		Thus on the biological level the function of pain is to mobilize automatic and cognitive activities directed toward the defense of the organism from noxious agents that may present a threat to the survival of the individual.
		Asymbolia for pain is a condition where the person feels pain but is indifferent to it and who makes no avoidance responses due to the pain itself.
		Pain is unpleasant (except in some cases where a person can enjoy the unpleasantness, as in masochism), but the displeasure of pain is tolerated when cultural tradition calls for its acceptance and conversely it is not tolerated when cultural tradition allows the free expression of pain reactions.

		Pain is much more than a stimulus-response interaction involving the nervous system; pain is a complex interaction involving personality structure, sensations, thoughts, feelings, beliefs and emotions.
		Physicians familiar with cases of phantom limb pain know that it is not even necessary to have the corresponding neurological structures in the body to feel pain and/or other sensations in an appendage which does not physically exist.
		Pain may be one of the most difficult conditions to treat, but the opportunity to help alleviate a patient’s suffering is as important and rewarding as it is difficult.
