* Temporality included continuous, recurring, irregular, intermittent pain

§ Sensory included the sensation of pain as burning, sharp, intense, aching

^Visceral pain included injury/damage to internal organs (liver, kidney), abdomen, chest, epigastric soreness, heartburn

^$ Somatic pain included injury/damage to muscle, rib cage, headaches, sprains, cramps

# Abstract

! More than one studied referred to the same publication

^£ VAS item with open-ended response questions vary

● Data were available for the selected field.

^a Visceral pain was defined as lower and upper abdominal pain and heartburn

^b Visceral pain was defined as chest pain. Somatic pain was defined as cramps

^c Visceral pain was defined as back, flank and abdominal pain. Somatic pain was defined as pain or pressure in rib cage

^d Somatic pain was defined as headaches, sprains

^e Sensory descriptors of pain included:1) continuous pain descriptors (throbbing, cramping, gnawing, aching, heavy and tender pain); 2) intermittent pain descriptors (shooting, stabbing, sharp, splitting, electric-shock and piercing pain); 3) predominantly neuropathic pain descriptors (hot-burning and cold-freezing pain, pain caused by light touch, itching, tingling or pins and needles, numbness

^f Visceral pain was defined as right upper quadrant, back, flank pain and epigastric soreness

^g Visceral pain was defined as back pain. Somatic pain was defined as muscle pain, headaches and cramps

^h Visceral pain was defined as back and abdominal pain

ⁱ Visceral pain was defined as lower and upper abdominal pain and heartburn

^j Visceral pain was defined as liver (defined as right upper quadrant pain, behind or below the rib cage) and kidney pain (defined as back, flank and abdominal pain)

^k Visceral pain was defined as kidney pain

^l Visceral pain was defined as heartburn

^m Visceral pain was defined as heartburn

ⁿ Visceral pain was defined as back, flank and abdominal pain

^o Visceral pain was defined as back and abdominal pain

^p Visceral pain was defined as back, flank and abdominal pain. Somatic pain was defined headaches

^q Heartburn was assessed as sensory pain

^r Abdominal distension/fullness/ heavy feelings in abdomen were assessed as sensory pain

^s Bodily/generalized pain was assessed as sensory pain

^t Cramps and was assessed as sensory pain

^u Sprains was assessed as sensory pain

^v Pain intensity was reported as degree of subjective pain relief

^z Neuropathic pain was reported as radicular pain

^ç Rehman 2001 [51] reported intermittent pain

^¥ Sensory descriptors of pain included temporal, spatial, punctate pressure, incisive pressure, constrictive pressure, traction pressure, thermal, dullness, stiffness, continuity.
