Abstract
|
|
|
|
Unlike somatic pain, visceral pain is poorly localized and the sensation generally is felt in an area of skin remote from the actual source of stimulation. This is the phenomenon of referred pain (RP). Clinically sometimes the RP make it difficult to diagnose pain. But the mechanisms of RP are largely unknown. It may caused by the increased sensitivity of local nociceptors and/or by a central sensitization. But the concept of RP is important to diagnosis and treatment or management of various pain syndromes. Therefore pain specialists must have a understanding of RP.
