'''Pain''' was an unpleasant feeling experienced by [[organic life|organic beings]] in response to a stimulus that damaged the body in some way. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gunfighters (TV story)|The Gunfighters]]'') Pain was often accompanied by [[autonomic response]]s.

Certain parts of the [[humanoid]] body were more sensitive to pain than others, such as immediately below the [[eye]]. The pain of a [[cigarette]] being extinguished in this part of the body was enough to successfully break the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s self-induced [[trance]].

While pain was generally considered unpleasant, to the point of the word "pain" being used generally to describe an unpleasant experience or person, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]'') and as such was often treated with painkillers, ([[TV]]: ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'') some enjoyed the sensation of pain, while still others enjoyed ''pretending'' to be in pain. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Of the City of the Saved... (novel)|Of the City of the Saved...]]'') In a more abstract sense, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] believed pain to be "a gift", because "without [pain], we can't feel the hurt we inflict". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]''). Additionally, some cultures did not show as much care for those in pain. When a [[Patient (World Enough and Time)|Patient]] complained of pain, a Mondasian nurse responded simply by turning its volume down. ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]''). Ironically, however, the [[Cybermen]] spoke extremely negatively of pain and spoke almost pityingly of unconverted individuals for still having the capacity for it.
