“…For example, if the emotional expression of English ‘heartbreaking’ is translated into Korean without paraphrasing, it will be described as ‘heart is painful.’ This is because when in expressing unstable emotions, Korean language uses nociceptive expressions while Western languages use visual descriptions. 18 We therefore conducted this study as a starting point for systematizing pain descriptions in Korean.…”

“…One of the reasons for the varied Korean pain descriptors is that sensory words are often expressed synthetically. 18 19 20 In this study, there were cases where pain was described using words that directly express taste (bitter sensation), weight (heavy sensation), or behavior (digging or cutting sensation). In addition, as in the example of ‘heartbreaking’ above, it is a significant feature of Korean language that is closely connected to expressions of sadness and pain.…”

Background and Purpose The description of pain is the most-important indicator leading to the adequate treatment of patients with neuropathic pain (NeP). The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize the unique features of Korean verbal descriptions in patients with peripheral NeP. Methods This study included 400 patients (167 males and 233 females) and their 1,387 pain-description responses. Patients with peripheral NeP freely described their symptoms in Korean. Collected verbal descriptions were grouped according to terminologies with similar meanings. Participants completed validated patient-reported outcome scales including the neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI) and painDETECT questionnaire (PD-Q). The frequencies of each verbal pain descriptor were compared between the NPSI and PD-Q scores. Results ‘ Jeorim ’ (tingling) was the most common among 17 types of organized verbal pain descriptors, and the ‘ Sirim ’ (cold) symptom had a significantly higher rate of use in the 2 high-severity groups when participants were classified by their total scores on the NPSI and PD-Q. Conclusions Korean verbal NeP descriptors were significantly diverse. The Jeorim (tingling) and Sirim (cold) descriptors can be utilized in evaluations of Korean patients with NeP.
