Preferred term

referred pain  

Definition

  • Referred pain is a rather broad term used to describe a phenomenon where pain is perceived at a site adjacent to or even distant from the site of pathology. There is no universally accepted definition, and hence different authors in the medical literature have used the phrase to describe different clinical entities that may present to the sports medicine clinician.
