我们通常所说的疼痛既可以是生理事件的结果，也可以是心理过程的结果。这两种情况都可以用一个定义来涵盖，把疼痛作为一个词，只适用于主观体验，而不适用于伤害感受或生理过程。国际疼痛研究协会（IASP）分类学小组委员会以这种方式对疼痛进行了定义，该定义于1979年被IASP采用，并从那时起被广泛接受。行为现象不应与这一定义相混淆。它暗示了对痛苦体验的一元论观点，用“痛苦行为”的概念来阻碍它是不合适的。同时，双重或多重原因的疼痛是公认的。因此，物理原因、心理原因或两者都可能产生统一的经验。
Summary What we ordinarily call pain can arise either as a consequence of physical events or as a result of psychological processes. Both situations can be covered in one definition by treating pain as a word which applies only to subjective experience and not to nociception or to physiological processes. A definition of pain, framed in this fashion by the subcommittee on taxonomy of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), was adopted by the IASP in 1979 and has been widely accepted since that date. Behavioural phenomena should not be confused with this definition. It implies a monistic view of the experience of pain and it is inappropriate to encumber it with concepts of “pain behaviour”. At the same time dual or multiple causes of pain are recognized. Thus physical causes, psychological causes or both may produce the unitary experience.
