Pain is a key feature of somatic symptom disorder with predominant pain (previously known as pain disorder), where the primary symptom is significant pain with psychological factors playing a significant role in the onset, severity, exacerbation, or maintenance of the pain. Paralysis and absence of pain, which are symptoms that can't be explained by medical conditions, are characteristic of functional neurological symptom disorder (conversion disorder), where symptoms affect voluntary motor or sensory functions suggesting a neurological or other general medical condition.
