description

Acute or chronic pain is a complex multidimensional neuronal response that draws attention to damaging or potentially damaging situations. A complex cascade of events takes place between the triggering occurrence of irritation and the final result of pain perception. In the beginning the nociceptor transforms the noxious threat into a signal.
