Pain and inflammation, both are protective responses in living organisms. However, these self-limiting conditions (with established negative feedback loops) become pathological if left uncontrolled. This review explains nociception and inflammation briefly. This is followed by detailed description of role of immune and related cells in peripheral sensitization, phenomenon of neurogenic inflammation, and, alterations at sensory ganglia and CNS due to immune system during nociception. Innate immunity
