Dr. Michael Cheshire, an internal medicine physician at West Virginia University Medicine, offers an overview of different pain classifications, including nociceptive, neuropathic, and idiopathic pain. He delves into the pathophysiology of each pain type, helping learners understand the underlying mechanisms. The video also covers assessment techniques for accurately identifying and categorizing pain, especially in complex cases where multiple types may coexist. Learners will explore how different pain types correlate with various treatment approaches, enhancing their ability to match appropriate interventions to specific pain conditions.
