As we know from current literature, pain is multi-dimensional, often influenced by factors beyond physical injury, such as inflammation. Why do two people of identical demographics stub their toe on a door, and one feels more pain than the other? We don’t know for certain. You could go so far as to say one person had more emotional trauma during childhood. One person had a meal with more processed carbohydrates that day. Let’s say one person expresses the negative emotions we are all too familiar with when catching the corner of the coffee table with our little toe. Why does that person feel better faster?
The way our brains understand and feel pain is complicated. Type III and IV nerve fibers are the peripheral nerves that signal pain. They synapse via glial cells in the spinal cord’s lamina II, IV, V, and VI. The pain signal is sent to the brain via the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus, where the limbic system processes and stores information.
The type IV fibers, the initiators of the synaptic activity that leads to pain perception, also have a story of their own. When activated, they release Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P, both of which promote an inflammation response. This response triggers immune mediating cells like macrophages, mast cells, and endothelial cells to protect the body. However, when these type IV fibers are overactivated, these inflammatory mediators are called into action too frequently, leading to excessive inflammation throughout the body.
