“…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.…”
