Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which type of pain generally has the shortest duration?

Answer: acute pain

Acute pain generally lasts from a few days to a few weeks. If pain is still felt after three to six months, it is classed as chronic.

2. Pain that a person feels from a body part that is no longer present is known as what type of pain?

Answer: phantom pain

Also known as Phantom Limb Syndrome, this type of pain is common after amputation of a limb.

3. An area of the surface of a body that provides sensory input to the dorsal root of a spinal cord segment is known as what?

Answer: dermatome

Pain medication blocks nerve impulses from reaching the spinal cord.

4. What type of pain comes from the receptors in the internal organs?

Answer: Visceral

An empty stomach is roughly the size of a fist. Eating too much can stretch the lining of the stomach. That will make you think before overeating.

5. What type of pain is perceived in a different area of the body than the actual stimulus is located?

Answer: referred pain

A trigger point might cause a referred pain, but does not necessarily do so all of the time.

6. What does the acronym RICE stand for?

Answer: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

Using the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, elevation) during the acute stage of an injury will help decrease the chances of the injury becoming chronic.

7. This type of pain comes from stimulating the receptors in the skin, muscle and/or connective tissue.

Answer: somatic pain

There are two types of somatic pain. Stimulation of the receptors in the skin is known as superficial somatic pain and in the muscle and connective tissue it's known as deep somatic pain.

8. What does the acronym "TENS" stand for?

Answer: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation causes a closing of the "gate" in the spinal cord. This prevents the pain signal from reaching the brain.

9. Analgesic drugs are used to reduce pain.

Answer: True

Novocain helps a person not feel pain by blocking the nerve receptors.

10. Which of the following are methods used to reduce pain?

Answer: All of these

Exercising causes your body to release endorphins, which decreases the amount of pain a person may feel. Biofeedback training helps people relax, which also helps to decrease the perception of pain. Psychological intervention can help a person limit the pain they feel since psychological problems are directly linked to stress and pain.
