From a phenomenological point of view this article approaches to the experience of pain in a clinical context. By means of an ethnographic methodology, combining both quantitative and qualitative research, different aspects of clinical situations had been studied in two hospitals in Madrid, Ramón y Cajal and Gregorio Marañón. The results are exposed through tables and interviews.
