description Research concerned with the neurological correlates of the pain response and how this response can be mitigated or eliminated by various clinical procedures permit several tentative conclusions: (a) pain producing stimuli activate a variety of nerve fibers rather than activating specific "pain" nerve pathways. (b) Pain producing stimuli set off patterns of neural impulses which are different from those produced by other stimuli. (c) Discomfit due to pain is not necessarily present when the noxious stimulus has been discriminated. Discomfit can be eliminated by various clinical procedures without necessarily altering the sensation of pain. (d) Mitigation of discomfort by clinical procedures appears to be secondary to their more generalized effect, i.e., anxiety reduction. 174-item bibliog.
