The International Association for the Study of Pain’s revised definition of pain is available here.

If you’d like to read more about ‘nocebo’ i.e. the non-pharmacological adverse effects of an intervention, have a look at this article.

For more information on Penthrox, you can read about it in the BNF, The Emergency Medicines Compendium and on the manufacturers own website.
