AB KEY  TERMSAcute  pain  Pain  of  recent  and  sudden  onset;  typically  high-intensity  pain  localized  at  or  near  the  site  of  injury.Allodynia  Extreme  sensitivity  to  an  innocuous  stimulus  (such  as  light  touch  or  cold);  pain  from  sunburn  is  a  common  example.Anterior  cingulate  cortex  Frontal  part  of  cingulate  cortex  in  the  brain;  plays  a  role  in  cognitive  functions  such  as  reward  anticipation,  decision  making,  empathy,  and  emotion.Benign  pain  Temporary  occurrence  of  discomfort  that  is  not  associated  with  new  tissue  damage;  characterized  as  dull  and  generalized  with  no  swelling  or  localized  tenderness.Cerebral  cortex  A  part  of  the  brain  that  plays  a  key  role  in  memory,  attention,  perceptual  awareness,  thought,  language,  and  consciousness.Chronic  pain  Pain  that  persists  beyond  the  normal  time  expected  for  healing  (typically  a  minimum  of  3–6  months).Extrovert  Manifested  in  outgoing,  talkative,  energetic  behavior.Hyperalgesia  Heightened  sensation  response  to  noxious  stimulus.Hypothalamus  A  part  of  the  brain  responsible  for  certain  metabolic  processes  and  other  activities  of  the  autonomic  nervous  system  (including  body  temperature,  hunger,  thirst,  fatigue,  sleep,  and  circadian  cycles).Injury  pain  Occurrence  of  pain  that  signals  actual  or  potential  tissue  damage.Introvert  Manifested  in  more  reserved,  quiet,  shy  behavior.Limbic  system  A  complex  set  of  brain  structures  that  lies  on  both  sides  of  the  thalamus;  supports  a  variety  of  functions  including  emotion,  behavior,  and  long-term  memory.Nociception  The  process  of  pain  sensation  by  the  nociceptors.Nociceptors  Sensory  neurons  that  respond  to  potentially  damaging  stimuli  by  sending  nerve  signals  to  the  spinal  cord  and  brain.Noxious  An  actually  or  potentially  tissue-damaging  event;  may  be  mechanical,  chemical,  or  thermal.Pain  perception  Conscious  interpretation  of  nociceptive  stimulus  as  pain.Pain  sensation  Stimulus  is  received  by  the  nervous  system  (via  nociceptors).Pain-spasm  cycle  Pain  that  causes  vasoconstriction  and  muscle  spasm,  which,  in  turn,  causes  more  pain,  which,  in  turn,  exacerbates  the  cycle;  sometimes  referred  to  as  the  pain-spasm-pain  cycle.Pain  threshold  Point  at  which  pain  begins  to  be  felt;  an  entirely  subjective  phenomenon.Pain  tolerance  The  ability  of  the  patient  to  withstand  pain  or  painful  stimuli  for  a  period  of  time.Periaqueductal  gray  A  role  in  the  descending  modulation  of  pain.Persistent  pain  Pain  that  meets  the  time  frame  defined  as  chronic  but  is  actually  a  symptom  of  a  treatable  condition.Sensation  Stimulus  is  received  by  the  nervous  system  (via  nociceptors).Somatic  Of  the  body;  relating  to  the  body;  bodily  illness.Somatosensory  cortex  The  main  sensory  receptive  area  for  the  sense  of  touch.Stress-induced  analgesia  A  reduction  in  pain  sensitivity  during  stress  conditions.Thalamus  A  part  of  the  brain  that  relays  sensory  and  motor  signals  to  the  cerebral  cortex  and  regulates  consciousness,  sleep,  and  alertness.
