REFERRED PAIN
Keywords:
Referred pain, nociception, sensory pathways, spinal cord, visceral pain, somatic pain, neural convergence, diagnosis, nervous system, pain perceptionAbstract
This article examines the mechanisms, causes, and clinical significance of referred pain. The main objective of the study is to analyze how pain originating from one part of the body is perceived in another location and its importance in clinical diagnosis. The research is based on comparative-descriptive, statistical, and functional analysis methods. The findings indicate that referred pain occurs due to shared neural pathways and central processing in the spinal cord and brain. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing internal organ disorders such as cardiac, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal conditions. The study has important theoretical and practical significance in physiology, neurology, and clinical medicine
