Abstract : Among the many sensations of human beings, pain is one of the most primitive and indispensable physiological functions preventing an individual from noxiousness. The stimulus inducing the pain is termed noxious stimulus. Although sometimes other sensations such as vision, audition or gestation make us unpleasant, generally they are comfortable to us. The pain sensation is essentially different from them because pain is originally accompanied by displeasure, anxiety or fright. In order to perceive noxious stimulus as the pain when an individual is given it, it is essential that the cerebral cortex in the brain accepts the impulse transmitted by nerve fibers. The pain sensation is duly recognized only by the cerebral cortex. And the cognition of the pain results from the stimulus which is definitely inferred and judged as the noxiousness from one's experience. General anesthesia and hypnotic anesthesia or analgesia by suggestion are considered the phenomenon as a result of extremely depressed functions of the cerebral cortex. The pain is the subjective phenomenon on an individual. Thus, each person cannot experience jointly the same pain.
