Abstract:
Pain producing stimuli in viscera are different from the stimuli which induce somatic pain. Two main clinical aspects of visceral pain are observed: true visceral pain and referred pain. The distinction among visceral pain, referred pain and somatic pain may be difficult in the so-called "intricate conditions". Furthermore, mnemonic traces may play an important role in determining clinical aspects of visceral pain.
