DIAZ ROMERO, Paula. Insights into pain from a phenomenological point of view. Co-herencia [online]. 2015, vol.12, n.23, pp.89-106. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.12.23.4.

This article discusses how the phenomenology of physical pain can establish a dialogue with the medical sciences, providing, on the one hand, a theoretical framework of the mind-body relationship rather than a reductionist one and, on the other hand, some aspects that will help improve the possibility of the quantification of pain through a pain assessment test, on the basis of the refinement of subjective reports. The article is divided into three sections: (I) the phenomenological conception of pain; (II) the medical conception of pain and its relationship with phenomenology; and lastly, (III) what the finality of this relationship actually is.

Palabras clave : Pain; body; phenomenology; medicine.
