Nociceptive and neuropathic pain may have different components
that reflect the timing of the pain experience.
• Baseline pain is described as a constant pain state experienced
for greater than half the day.
• Breakthrough pain is described as an intermittent flare of
pain that exceeds the intensity of the baseline pain and “breaks
through” the baseline analgesia.
• Incident pain (subtype of breakthrough pain) is described as
a severe transitory increase in pain of varying intensity that
occurs suddenly in response to a trigger, such as toileting,
repositioning, coughing, hiccups and/or dressing changes
that reflect the timing of the pain experience.
