good can turn the most beautiful days into a nightmare. sometimes it emerges all at once and sometimes it just won't go away. what the body goes through when experiencing pain is complex. for example, if we cut our finger damage cells send out a pain signal. the electrical potential of various nerve endings is altered. as soon as this reaches a certain threshold and electrical impulse travels via the neural pathways to the brain, the brain triggers reflects to prevent further injury. but there are also other pain receptors. the so called c fiber is produced a longer lasting dollars. sensation of pain, which causes us to go easy on the affected area. they transmit the signal more slowly to the brain via the nerves and the spinal cord. in the file on this,
2:32 pm
incoming nerve impulses are filtered and transmitted. the sensory cortex finds out which area of the body they originated from. the mid july plays an important role in the emotional response. pain causes stress and anxiety, that anxiety can also make the pain more intense relief. on the other hand is provided by the pituitary gland. here endorphins are released a lot pain receptors in the brain. areas under the prefrontal cortex are active when we become aware of the pain. its focus of attention is limited though. if we are distracted, we become less aware of the pain, the pain can be annoying or unbearable, but it serves an important purpose. it makes us respond to injury and keep our bodies intact. but this complex system can also go haywire. in the case of chronic
2:33 pm
pain, it warns us constantly and often without reason. and the brain like in the case of psycho sematic pain, can cause the problem itself. that's another reason why it's often difficult to treat paint affectively. some remedies focus on reducing the pain stimulus for interrupting the transmission to the brain. others can help us cope with pain. sometimes trying out all the possibilities is the only option. so that the nightmare eventually comes to an end developed at this university of montreal, canada, the mcgill pain index measures the worst kinds of pain, including migraines, intense recurring headaches. renal college caused when kidney stones block parts
2:34 pm
of the urinary tract, crows, disease, and inflammatory bowel disease which cause is blushing and stomach cramps, giving bus 1st as the contractions, then the pressure of the baby's head stretching the perennial. i'm guessing stone by put it and found in central and south america, it's venomous. so toxic people compare the pain to getting shots and fiber mile to a chronic condition, which triggers constant pain, especially in the joints. nancy geiger was 27 years old when she 1st started getting pain to begin, i think so guys to for so some told in the beginning i had diffused symptoms most it began with muscular pains on, particularly in the morning and it was difficult for me to get going appropriate
2:35 pm
and i had problems taking the stairs, stating and then as the months went by, i started developing more symptoms and told me i've got problems, i'm pins and needles all over my body sleeping problems in sonya stuff. okay. and most of those as kites, but worst of all was the joint in deep muscle pain across her entire body. she struggled to do the simplest things. they 5 topanga, she sang, i was totally incapacitated law. i remember after my daughter was born, the pan was bad on one night and i wanted to get up and prepare some meals for her . and we have 2 steps in our apartment. and it was too much for me to go down to steps into the kitchen for to put on the kettle and prepare her formula. and i couldn't do it fine to spend on 2 enemies to my high school. it took us for nancy geiger to be diagnosed with fiber o my alger of disorder, apparently linked to the way the central nervous system process as pain is on the
2:36 pm
website. they should really apologist, basically told me to take pain killers when needed on. and she recommended doing something relaxing like you, without the usual guy said she, that was the only treatment available. if he moved his case and the one we have that, and then i talked with, where will this and it's, it's fine if it's like this at the age of 32. listen, what about went on a 40 or 50 or 60 life place, but the idea of just popping pills and relaxing, didn't satisfy her. she started looking for alternatives and discovered a research project at the university hospital in my book. sure nothing to hasn't shown here was a pain researcher cottage fema is trying to change the way her patients perceive pain by using electrical impulses to influence the battery receptors at the base of the carotid artery. power receptors don't just regulate blood pressure, but also indirectly influenced the way we perceive pain. chronic pain seems to
2:37 pm
switch off barrow receptors. wendy level that's up to the others dentist. barrel receptors are no longer properly active. the brain stem doesn't get feedback about what's happening in the body and stopped at some regulatory functions when they are active bearer receptors pass on information to a small part of the brain stem that regulates blood pressure, pain, blood, sugar, anxiety, sleep, and are stress homeless. so she's developed a device that can be used to reactivate power receptors. it creates impulses independently of the heart beat on the comp. if you get something like a little electric shocks, differing strength into something, some don't hurt at all. and to the course i do notice the stronger ones, the maximum. they make you flinch briefly for them, but it's bearable side mission. the sensitivity threshold is raised
2:38 pm
a little each time khaki team a can see the effects on her screen. think you can see the blood pressure and pulse rate here. the white dots are the barrow receptors and each dot shows the barrow receptor is responding. and that means that pain is being inhibited at that moment . the very 1st treatment god results. let them s law after getting home from my 1st treatment, i managed to sleep through the night in the hospital. i haven't been able to do that for months and sight more. nothing. and i woke up in the morning and felt like a new person from best fish. but i know i'm and nancy geiger got the stimulation treatment 10 times along with psycho therapy sessions. and the pain disappeared, the detailed after i left finished the treatment has transformed my life. so when i looked back i was so restricting,

2:42 pm
cite ptosis is known as a possible side effect of metabolism. i kind of, it's a granular side toast is a dangerous but very rare and actually easily travel disease. and if i, if it's detected, it's normally recognized by 3 symptoms with a sore throat fever and whitish deposits in the mouth and throat. so you should be getting my one to protect him from infection. nicholas heading up was isolated and given and fusions to increase the granular sites in his blood. and then come in these somehow a point came that really minute by minute. things got better with drinking, eating then with a headache, cough and everything. um call someone else and whose name was wilma. after a few days, nicholas heading now had recovered and could go home. the side effect he suffered is reportedly far rarer than those caused by other pain killers. doctors

2:44 pm
especially the closer nag, have very strong side effects on the cardiovascular system, including heart attacks and have some talked. that's why doctors continue to recommend caution when it comes to pain killers. continuous use and particular can be life threatening. so it's best to seek medical advice. it's suffering from persistent pain. a headaches on one of the most common disorders of the nervous system. the brain itself can't feel pain. there are no notes except is located in the brain tissue. usually, a headache begins in the notes of the muscles and blood vessels surrounding the head, neck, and face. and usually the causes nothing serious, unless it's accompanied by new or logical symptoms such as confusion or trouble concentrating. they could also be something seriously wrong if a headache fits in very suddenly or is unusually severe,
