Abstract

Referred pain is a phenomenon in which pain is perceived at a location other than its actual source. This occurs due to the convergence of nerve pathways in the central nervous system. This article explores the mechanisms underlying referred pain, common examples, diagnostic approaches, and its clinical significance. Understanding referred pain is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
