....notice of Patrick Wall’s advice from 25 years ago and stop calling nociceptors ‘pain receptors’, nociceptive pathways ‘pain pathways’ and noxious stimuli ‘pain stimuli’. These are erroneous terms. That is, let us not fool ourselves that the mislabeling of nociceptors as ‘pain fibers’ is an elegant simplification – we need only sit with a patient in chronic pain to see that this mislabeling is indeed a most unfortunate trivialization. futuremedicine/doi/full/10.2217/pmt.11.73
