'''Pain''' is a sensation caused by the [[nervous system]]. It is your body's way of letting you know that you are injured or in danger of being injured. People who enjoy pain are called [[masochist]]s.

'''Pain''' is the subjective interpretation of sensory input from the [[nervous system]], primarily from nociceptors (injury-specific receptors). It is your body's way of letting you know that you are injured or in danger of being injured, and has been shown to evoke a powerful [Pavlov|pavlovian] reaction, preventing the person from further exposing themselves to similar situations.

 

As pain is a subjective sensation, causes of pain can range from true injury, to imagined or [neuropathic pain].

 

People who enjoy pain are called [[masochist]]s.
