Cancer-related pain is typically classified into three types: nociceptive, neuropathic, and mixed pain. Nociceptive pain arises from tissue damage or inflammation and is often described as aching or throbbing. Neuropathic pain results from nerve damage and may be experienced as burning, shooting, or tingling sensations. Mixed pain, as the name suggests, involves components of both nociceptive and neuropathic pain.
