nociceptive pain

• Nociceptive pain:

  • pain that has clearly arised from the stimulation of nociceptive afferents in a tissue that has been injured/stressed/strained
  • local pain
  • mechanical pain - if aggs, the pain increases, but if eases, the pain offloads
• Nociceptive pain:

  • clear, proportionate mechanical/anatomical nature related to predictable aggravating and easing factors
  • usually intermittent and sharp with movement/mechanical provovation
  • possibly a more constant dull ache or throb at rest
  • follows a clear and predictable pattern given the injured tissue
  • a relatively predictable response to aggs and eases or tests
  • improves with the expected rate of tissue healing
