Pain can broadly be categorized into several types, including:
1. Acute Pain: This is short-term pain that typically results from injury or surgery. 2. Chronic Pain: Pain that persists for more than three months and often results from conditions like arthritis. 3. Neuropathic Pain: Pain caused by damage to the nervous system, often described as burning or tingling. 4. Nociceptive Pain: Pain from physical damage or potential damage to the body, such as a cut or broken bone.
