The experience of pain is also deduced from a person's behaviour, including increased purposeless motor movements, facial expressions, non-verbal vocal expressions and physiological (autonomic) changes such as tachycardia and tear production. Extensive brainstem and midbrain networks are activated by pain, including autonomic networks. Given their early evolution and location, they likely resist damage. The networks appear intrinsically resilient, functioning when damaged unless the damage is severe.SynthesisSomeone with a prolonged disorder of consciousness usually has intransitive consciousness (arousal) that is not dependent on cortical cognitive processes and may have retained occurrent consciousness of mental states when aroused. Nociceptive stimuli elicit automatic but purposeless behaviours typically associated with pain. These behaviours are likely to be responses to this unpleasant mental state of occurrent consciousness that is limited to the time they show pain behaviours, with no memory of it.ConclusionThe unconscious person with a prolonged disorder of consciousness exhibiting pain behaviours in response to nociceptive stimuli likely experiences pain without analysing its significance; they are unlikely to anticipate or remember it.</p>","PeriodicalId":10441,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"796-807"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12141765/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analyses included Friedman tests to evaluate pre- to post-operative changes in pain and related cognitions and emotions, Latent Class Growth Analysis and multinomial logistic regression to identify pain trajectories and their covariates, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression to identify predictors of early post-operative cognitions and emotions.ResultsFour early post-operative pain trajectories were identified. Two trajectories (36%, <i>n</i> = 48) demonstrated no reduction in pain intensity one week after surgery. Higher levels of self-efficacy (odds ratio = 0.83) and pre- to post-operative reductions in perceived injustice (odds ratio = 0.86) were associated with lower odds of being classified in the unremitting pain trajectory. Between 38% and 64% in the variance of early post-operative cognitions and emotions could be predicted. Pre-operative perceived injustice showed a positive association with fear-avoidance (ß = 1.96) and anxiety symptoms (ß = 0.80).ConclusionsInter-individual differences exist in early post-operative pain after total hip arthroplasty but are poorly associated with cognitions or emotions.
