4.9/5 (32195 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Treatise on Neuralgia Pain is a fact of consciousness, having for its invariable antecedent a disturbance of a sensory nerve or nerve-centre. Its seat is that part of the cerebral cortex known as the sensorium; the cause is generally an abnormal modification of some part of a nerve of sensation. The function of sensory nerves being to convey impressions to the sensorium, when such impressions are abnormal in kind or in intensity, the phenomenon of pain may arise. One of the most common excitants of pain is inflammation, which causes compression of the nerves of a region and disturbance of their nutrition and function. Another cause is anaemia, or want of blood, for no pain is more intense than that which is experienced in a limb whose supply of blood is cut off by an arterial embolus. Tumors, foreign bodies as splinters, wounds or compression of nerves, also bring about those molecular changes in sensory conductors whose conscious expression is pain; and the same may be said of an inflammation confined to the sheath of the nerve itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
