Physical pain? Zero.

Did you think about this before you wrote it?

Didn't have to. Kind of an obvious thing to point out, but OP didn't specify what type of pain he meant, so I figured I would, just in case.

How is it obvious?

Human brains don't actually have any pain receptors (even though headaches would have you seriously believe otherwise), so a brain alone wouldn't be able to feel pain any more than it would be able to smell or see.

Physical pain only exists from nerves. Brains don't have any nerves. No nerves. No pain.
