Possibility of using modernized pain scale in clinical practice

Abstract

Summary: pain is a personal subjective sensation of a person, which includes sensory and emotional experiences that exist regardless of the kind of origin. Pain arises from a perceptual component (nociception) associated with the transmission of a painful stimulus to the brain, and a component associated with experience that depends solely on the subject, that is, how they perceive and experience pain. The very definition of pain subjectivity can cover several of its components: sensory-discriminatory, affective-emotional, and cognitive-behavioral. Any diagnostic or therapeutic procedure performed by medical personnel, regardless of the situation, situation and age of patients, is especially dangerous and stressful event. Pain in patients is most often associated with anxiety and fear, and its presence often has a significant impact on the perception of medical manipulations performed, and subsequently affects the quality of life. Currently, one of the main goals of medicine is to improve methods for pain management, but the risk is to reduce pain to nociception, ignoring the multifactorial aspect of conscious experience, or, conversely, giving priority to the suffering experienced, excluding the measurement of nociceptive pain. This difficulty is an obstacle to understanding pain and is important for medical practice, which we propose to analyze in this article, offering the most modernized pain scale.
