Transmission of pain signals from the brain to the spine. Pain was defined by Coates & Hindle as an unpleasant emotional and sensory experience that signals potential or actual tissue damage (2011, p. 213). Pain is a common human experience and can result from injury or illness. There are two main types of pain: acute pain is short-lived, lasting a few minutes or several days, and its onset is often rapid. It results from the activation of painful nerve endings or nociceptors by internal or external painful stimuli. On the other hand, chronic pain is continuous and sometimes recurring and can last for weeks, months, or even years. Chronic pain is generally not localized or related to the tissue experiencing trauma (Draper & Knight, 2007, p. 104). Various theories have been proposed to explain the mechanism underlying pain transmission and perception. These include the specificity theory which holds that specific fibers and pain receptors are activated by injury, after which pain signals are projected via the spinal pathway to an area of pain. brain that interprets pain.
