Pain is a highly complex phenomenon. IASP (International Society for the Study of Pain) defines it as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. IASP thus pays attention to both the emotional and somatic basis of pain. They also don’t forget about the purely subjective nature of pain – the inability to communicate verbally does not negate the possibility of pain experiences.
The WHO (World Health Organization) also points out that pain is a multidimensional phenomenon with sensory, physiological, cognitive, affective, spiritual, and behavioral components.
Despite its physiological, evolutionary importance as a signal of danger and to trigger an escape response, pain has been described by European Pain Federation as a disease in its own right and a significant health problem in Europe.
The biggest issue is long-lasting pain, so-called chronic pain, for which the use of analgesics may be insufficient and sometimes even harmful. Non-pharmacological methods of treating pain then become necessary, and the ability to provide effective therapy becomes a separate specialty called pain medicine.
