pain is described as an unpleasant, subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, pain can be persistent, burning, throbbing, stabbing, pinching or hurting or in many other ways described. Pain can also result in numerous physical symptoms such as nausea and dizziness. Emotional effects such as anger depression can also appear. Pain can occur to such an extent that it affects the person's daily lifestyle, work environment, relationships and dependence.

Johns Hopkins Medicine further elaborates and explains that pain can be classified as acute (severe and short of duration and is usually an indication that the body has sustained an injury) or chronic (ranging from moderate to severe pain and presents for longer periods ).

Pain can be treated in several methods. For moderate pain, non-prescribed medication can be used. Other stronger pain medications and anesthetics may also be used. Some patients may learn to live with pain through distraction, meditation, relaxation, yoga, or cognitive behavioral therapy.
