1. Visceral: It is developed as a result of problems with internal organs below the neck.
2. Somatic: develops as a result of spinal spine lesions.
3. Central: It develops as a consequence of damage to the central nervous system.
4. Neuropathic: It develops due to the impaired work of the peripheral or central nervous system, if caused by inadequate neurons activity.

This can be felt the following:
