is caused by |
Somatic pain is caused by injury to skin, muscles, bone, joint, and connective tissues. Deep somatic pain is usually described as dull or aching, and localized in one area. Visceral pain refers to pain that originates from ongoing injury to the internal organs or the tissues that support them. Somatic pain from injury to the skin or the tissues just below it often is sharper and may have a burning or pricking quality. |

is characterised by |
Nociceptive pain is believed to be caused by the ongoing activation of pain receptors in either the surface or deep tissues of the body. There are two types: "somatic" pain and "visceral" pain. Neuropathic pain is believed to be caused by changes in the nervous system that sustain pain even after an injury heals. "Psychogenic" pain is a simple label for all kinds of pain that can be best explained by psychological problems. |
