“…Currently, pain is one of the main reasons for consultation in both primary care and hospital emergencies (Arrebola, García‐Delgado, Labrador‐Barba, Orera‐Peña & Martínez‐Martínez, 2016; Caba‐Barrientos, Benito‐Alcalá, Montes‐Pérez, Aguilar‐Sánchez de la Torre‐Liébana, R., & Margarit‐Ferri, 2014). Despite the fact that acute pain plays an important protective biological role as an alarm mechanism which prevents further damage to the organism experiencing pain (Chapman & Vierck, 2017; López‐Silva, Sánchez‐de Enciso, Rodríguez‐Fernández & Vázquez‐Seijas, 2007), sometimes pain can arise due to the application of certain types of treatments and certain types of diagnostic tests (Barroso, Santos, Santos, Nunes & Lucas, 2020; Boerner, Birnie, Chambers et al ., 2015; Martín‐Pintado‐Zugasti, López‐López, González Gutiérrez et al ., 2017), therefore losing its protective value and becoming a potential barrier for the preservation of the organism's health. Thus, when pain appears, it not only becomes an unpleasant experience, but it also interferes with the correct application and adherence to treatment (Fernández‐de‐Las‐Peñas & Nijs, 2019; Martín‐Pintado‐Zugasti et al ., 2017; Ramírez‐Zamora & Meda‐Lara, 2014), even affecting the proper execution of diagnostic procedures (Ramírez‐Zamora & Meda‐Lara, 2014).…”
