Abstract

Referred pain is a phenomenon in which pain is perceived at a location different from its source. It usually originates from internal organs but is felt in somatic regions of the body. This occurs due to the convergence of visceral and somatic sensory nerve fibers in the same spinal cord segments. As a result, the brain misinterprets the origin of the pain signal. This article explains the neurophysiological mechanisms of referred pain, its pathways, dermatomal distribution, and clinical significance. From this article, it is possible to learn about the mechanism of referred pain, its causes, neural pathways, and its importance in medical diagnosis .
