Abstract
Pain is a multifaceted sensory, cognitive, and emotional response triggered by, or bearing resemblance to what is typically associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. Pain can manifest in various forms, from injury-related acute pain to the relentless ache of chronic conditions. Chronic pain is becoming increasingly common, and it is one of the leading causes of disabilities worldwide.
