Within the physiology and the pathophysiology the phenomenon pain has since long time been explained from the ‘tissue damage – cable model’. Think for example of the five characteristics of the physiological response to tissue damage: rubor, tumor, calor, dolor and function laesa. Neurosciences attributed to the notion that there is not a one-to-one relation between tissue damage and pain. Perhaps even without being aware, therapists may apply neuroscientific insights in several complementary medicine therapies.
