This Is a table showing different types pf pain felt by human beings, its classification and types

Type of Pain	Location of nociceptor/ cause	Potential Stimuli	Localization	Quality	Signs/Symptoms	Examples	Treatment
Somatic superficial	Skin- Cuts , wounds, Burns	Sharp objects, heat, cold, chemical	Well Localised, pinprick, stabbing	Sharp pricking /burning	tenderness, sensitivity	Sun, Chemical, thermal burns, skin cuts	NSAIDS, Opioids, Local Anaesthesia
Somatic Deep	Tissues, joints, muscles, Organs	overuse mechanical injury, inflammation	Poorly Localized , diffused or radiating	Aching, cramping, throbbing, constant, dull and gnawing	Tenderness, muscle spasm, sympathetic hyperactivity	Arthritis, tendonitis, mayo- facial pain,	NSAIDS, Opioids, regional Anaesthesia
