Defining chronic pain solely by duration is based on the view that acute pain signals potential tissue damage, whereas chronic pain results from central sensitization in which pain is sustained after nociceptive inputs have diminished. Chronic urological pain is a prevalent condition, which can represent a major challenge to health care providers due to its complex aetiology and poor response to therapy. In most cases, clear signs of on-going tissue trauma, inflammation or infection are not present. Despite this, more underhanded pathophysiological mechanisms, affecting the urinary system or other pelvic organ systems (musculoskeletal, neurologic, urologic, gynaecologic) and some psychological aspects may be present. In this article, some pathophysiological aspects of visceral pain are discussed; the definition of \u2018chronic pain\u2019, the mechanism of action of drugs used in the treatment of pain and the rationale for association therapy are also reviewed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5301\/uro.5000084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,2]],"date-time":"2014-12-02T10:49:24Z","timestamp":1417517364000},"page":"4-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pain in Urology: Pathophysiological Aspects of Pain and Chronicity"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Cesare","family":"Bonezzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit, Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri IRRCS, Pavia - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Demartini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit, Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri IRRCS, Pavia - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Angelini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit, Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri IRRCS, Pavia - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luciana","family":"Armiento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit, Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri IRRCS, Pavia - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hussein","family":"Jallous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology, Fondazione Ospedale San Matteo, Pavia - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-uro.5000084","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0025-7125(05)70503-4"},{"key":"bibr2-uro.5000084","first-page":"3","author":"Buonocore M.","year":"2002","journal-title":"In \u201cContro il dolore\u201d."},{"key":"bibr3-uro.5000084","first-page":"87","volume-title":"\u201cIl dolore.
