Chronic pain is divided into two, namely chronic pain nonmalignan and malignan. Nonmalignan chronic pain is pain caused by injury or progressive network that heals, can occur without obvious causes such as low back pain, and pain based on top of chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis. While chronic pain malignan also called cancer pain has causes pain that can be identified, that occur due to changes in the nerves. These changes can occur due to the emphasis on nerve due to metastatic cancer cells as well as the influence of chemical substances produced by the cancer itself.
Pain is classified based on the originally differentiated into nosiseptif pain and neuropathic pain.
- Pain Nosiseptif
Nociceptive pain is pain that caused by activation of the peripheral sensitization or nosiseptor which is a special receptor noxious stimuli are delivering. Peripheral nosiseptif pain can occur due to the stimulus on skin, bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue, and others. This can occur on a post operative pain and cancer pain. - Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is the result of an injury or an abnormality in the structure of the peripheral or central nerve. Unlike the nosiseptif pain, neuropathic pain last longer and is a process of abnormal sensory nerve input by the peripheral nervous system. This pain is more difficult to treat. Patients will experience pain like a sense of burning, tingling, shooting, shock like, hypergesia or allodynia. Neuropathic pain from the nature of the pain is chronic pain.
Pain classification based on location can be distinguished as follows:
- Superficial atau Kutaneus

Visceral pain is pain that results from the stimulation of internal organs. The characteristics of the pain are diffuse and may spread to some direction. Their length varies but usually lasts longer than superficial pain. On this pain also cause an unpleasant taste. And associated with nausea and Autonomic symptoms. Pain can be felt sharp, dull or unique depending on the organs involved. Examples of sensation at (crushing) such as angina pectoris and a burning sensation in stomach ulcer-like. - Referred Pain
