Acute pain: This type of pain is sudden and severe but usually short-lived. Chronic pain: Lasts for a prolonged period and can be constant or intermittent. Breakthrough pain: A sudden flare-up of pain that occurs even when the patient is taking medication for chronic pain. Neuropathic pain: Results from nerve damage and is often described as burning, shooting, or tingling.
