Synopsis
An introduction to the physiology of pain, which is seen both as a physical sensation and as emotional suffering. Explains how nerve stimulus leads to transmission and reception in the brain. Looks at ways in which the body inhibits pain, the function of pain and reasons for chronic pain. Also notes that there are cases of pain which appear to have no physiological basis.
