    Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire

    T F U

    1 It is possible to have pain and not know about it.

    When part of your body is injured, special pain


    2
    receptors convey the pain message to your brain.
    Pain only occurs when you are injured or at risk of
    3
    being injured.
    When you are injured, special receptors convey the
    4
    danger message to your spinal cord.
    Special nerves in your spinal cord convey ‘danger’
    5
    messages to your brain.
    Nerves adapt by increasing their resting level of
    6
    excitement.
    Chronic pain means that an injury hasn’t healed
    7
    properly.

    8 The body tells the brain when it is in pain.

    Nerves adapt by making ion channels stay open


    9
    longer.

    10 Descending neurons are always inhibitory.

    11 Pain occurs whenever you are injured.

    When you injure yourself, the environment that you


    12 are in will not affect the amount of pain you
    experience, as long as the injury is exactly the same.

    13 The brain decides when you will experience pain.
