What is the definition of pain?
Is an unpleasent sensory and emotional expeirence assocaited with actual or potential tissue damage
T/F pain is always subjective?
true
What are the variable links between pain and injury?

Pain perception has an emotional component, what is this affected by?
- past experiences
- suggestion ie placebo
- emotional state
- stimulation activation of other sensory modalities
What does affective emotional states influnce?
The magnitude of pain experience
T/F paim ratings are higher for attended than ignored painful stimuli
true
What is neuropathic pain caused by?
damaged nerves centrally and peripherally
