Innocent pain: the experience of pain in metaphysics, phenomenology and neurophilosophy.

摘要

The concept of "innocent pain" was introduced into the metaphysical sphere to explore the mystery of the "evil" in the world, whereas in the sphere of the neurosciences it refers to idiopathic pain experiences. In migraine, as in other primary, non-symptomatic cephalalgias (such as tension-type headache, cluster headache/TACs and other central pain syndromes), we are confronted with cephalic or systemic pain spectrum syndromes in which the relationship (causal) between the "disease" and the aetiological agent is not immediately identifiable, in such a way that the pain, apparently occurs "without a reason" (sine causa).
