Y1 - 2010 N1 - T2 - Wound Healing Evidence-Based Management, 4e AB - Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or is defined in such terms as those set forth by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP).1,2 Inherent in the definition of pain is its multidimensional nature. There are three dimensions of pain, which are defined as the sensory discriminative, motivational affective, and cognitive evaluative.3 The sensory discriminative component of pain mediates the quality, intensity, duration, and location of the pain. The motivational affective component is concerned with the emotional aspects and the unpleasantness associated with pain. Lastly, the cognitive evaluative dimension of pain modulates both of the previous two dimensions and puts pain in the context of past experiences and current state of the individual. This chapter will discuss the basic science mechanisms of pain, the assessment of pain, and the management of wound-related pain. When possible, reviews, books, or book chapters are referenced to provide additional information for the reader. For a more in-depth review of the basic science mechanisms and an evidence-based approach for management of a variety of pain conditions, the reader is referred to "Pain Mechanisms and Management for the Physical Therapist."1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1184833118 ER -
