Analgesia
Definition
The total absence, complete loss, or pathological or therapeutic diminution of sensitivity to pain, without the loss of consciousness or other sensory modalities (such as tactile or thermal sensitivity). In a structural clinical sense, it can occur as a symptom in severe neurological disorders (like syringomyelia or spinothalamic tract lesions) or can be deliberately induced through the administration of analgesics, local anesthesia techniques, or neurostimulation procedures for patient comfort.
