摘要：This article discusses how the phenomenology of physical pain can establish a dialogue with the medical sciences, providing, on the one hand, a theoretical framework of the mind-body relationship rather than a reductionist one and, on the other hand, some aspects that will help improve the possibility of the quantification of pain through a pain assessment test, on the basis of the refinement of subjective reports. The article is divided into three sections: (I) the phenomenological conception of pain; (II) the medical conception of pain and its relationship with phenomenology; and lastly, (III) what the finality of this relationship actually is.
