Today, Winston and I dive into pain pathways. You know, those definitions of pain like visceral or psychogenic, they’ve never helped me treat pain practically. So, understanding the nervous system might just boost my pain management skills. The pain pathway consists of transduction, where energy turns into nerve impulses, ascending pathways, spinal cord travel, brain processing, and descending pathways. Remember, understanding the whole system aids better pain management.
