AB Pain  is  an  unpleasant  sensation  that  negatively  affects  a  person's  life,  including  comfort,  sleep,  emotion,  and  daily  activity.  Pain  is  an  unpleasant  sensory  and  emotional  experience  associated  with  actual  or  potential  tissue  damage  or  described  in  terms  of  such  damage.  As  pain  is  a  subjective,  variable,  and  personal  experience,  it  is  difficult  to  describe  and  measure  objectively.  The  clinician  must  guard  against  personal  biases,  which  can  interfere  with  treatment.  One  must  also  rely  on  tools  such  as  pain  scales  to  communicate  with  patients  and  understand  the  extent  of  their  pain.
