AB  - The  International  Association  for  the  Study  of  Pain  (IASP)  defines  pain  as  “an  unpleasant  sensory  and  emotional  experience  associated  with,  or  resembling  that  associated  with,  actual  or  potential  tissue  damage.”  Acute  pain  resolves  within  the  expected  period  of  healing  and  is  self-limited.  Chronic  pain  persists  beyond  the  expected  period  of  healing  and  is  itself  a  disease  state.  In  general,  chronic  pain  is  defined  as  extending  beyond  3–6  months,  although  definitions  vary  in  terms  of  the  time  period  from  initial  onset  of  nociception.  Cancer  pain  is  in  its  own  special  category  because  of  the  unique  ways  neoplasia  and  its  therapies  (such  as  surgery,  chemotherapy,  immunotherapy  or  radiation  therapy)  can  lead  to  burdensome  pain.  Finally,  related  to  cancer  pain,  there  is  pain  at  the  end  of  life,  for  which  measures  to  alleviate  suffering  may  take  priority  over  promoting  restoration  of  function.
