摘　　要：Pain has been traditionally understood as a complex phenomenon involving various dimensions,including physical,sensory,cognitive,and emotional aspects,resulting in unpleasant sensations and affective responses.Individual responses to pain can vary significantly,even when individuals are exposed to similar nociceptive stimuli or clinical conditions,with some individuals experiencing intense pain and others experiencing milder levels,suggesting the presence of pain resilience.Although recent advances in pain research have focused on susceptibility,the occurrence of pain,and related pathological mechanisms,there remains a dearth of comprehensive analysis of the neural mechanisms that underlie pain resilience,although peripheral mechanisms have begun to be revealed.
