The international association for the study of pain (iasp) defined pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or it is described in terms of such damage. Clinical pain is subjective and no objective measures of it exists, the only people who can accurately define their own pain are experiencing that pain. : a person with a sprained ankle avoids bearing full weight on the foot to prevent further injury. Pain is a warning that tissue damage has occurred. There are different ways to define types of pain, which include according to onset, duration, severity, modes of transmission, location, causation and causative forces.
