    "Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage" (Merskey & Bogduk, 1994). According to Liebeskind (1991), pain is a universal phenomenon that can have a detrimental effect on mobility, sleeping and eating patterns, personal relationships, immune system, overall functional status and psychological well-being, and it has also been the most common reason for medical appointments. Pain is a complex, multidimensional perception that varies in quality, duration and strength (McGrath, 1994). Pain is a subjective symptom that cannot be objectively measured in the way that blood pressure or heart rate can be measured (Strong, Unruh, Wright, & Baxter, 2002). The definition of pain highlights the duality of pain experience and suggests that the perception of pain and how a person report pain is influenced by physiological and psychological factors; however, our understanding of pain and how it perceived by different people is still limited and more research need to be conducted in this field since pain evaluation and pain relief are important goals for the health care providers and clients.…

    As mice and rats are good model organisms, due to their ability to be accommodated as a semi-reliable replica of human physiology, they can serve as a method in understanding human conditions that could not be legally conducted on human bodies; of which the results obtained from the study can be used to advance knowledge and potentially treatments. Chronic pain, for example, is a significant contributor to health care costs (Casey, 1989); indicating that chronic pain is a major dilemma to the current human populace, of which researchers should take actions is attempting to resolve. However, inducing chronic pain in humans would be highly unethical; therefore, the use of a model organism is a necessary component in research. The need for pain oriented studies, where there is no procedure for a specific medication or other attempt to alleviate pain besides the required self-administered painkillers (Zimmerman, 1983), are to serve as a template, or baseline for the pain related behavior of the model. Having a broad understanding of pain related behavior can serve in studies that are attempting to find solutions to chronic or acute pain, and can identify a change in an animal’s…

    Scientists have determined that the brain controls all pain. Pain is in one’s head, and emotions determine its severity. It may feel as if the pain is in one’s back, but it is really the circuits in the brain telling one that pain exists. One’s brain even has the capability to increase or decrease the pain, by paying more or less attention to it. This supports the idea…
