to assign speed rise to down what really have to go smooth and nothing starts january 27th on d. w. it can see like getting hit with a sledge hammer, a constant revise, and pressure being squeezed, and the vice it takes many phones, the pain. it tells us something's wrong with our buddy or was us to be careful. still many people long for life, that's free of pain. so we're can help be found here and in good shape the

food 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 5 or 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 fall of this,

the incoming nerve impulses are filters and transmitted. this sensory cortex finds out which area of the body they originate from the lift allow place 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 or release, the blunt 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

pain, it warns us constantly and often without reason. and the brain like in the case of psychosomatic pain, can cause the problem itself. that's another reason why it's often difficult to treat paints effectively. some remedies focus on reducing the pain stimulus or 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 in montreal, canada, the mcgill pain index measures the worst kinds of pain, including migraines, intense recurring headaches. a reno calling caused when kidney stones block parts

of the urinary tract. crows, disease, and inflammatory bowel disease which causes blushing and stomach cramps, giving bath 1st as the contractions, then the pressure of the baby's head, stretching the premium. getting stung 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 after. so goes to for so some told in the beginning i had to few symptoms most it began with muscular pains on, particularly in the morning and it was difficult for me to get going appropriate.

and i had problems taking the stairs title. and then as the months went by, i started developing more symptoms and told me i've got problems, pins and needles, all over my body sleeping problems in sonya stuff. okay. and my stuff was his kite . but worst of all was the joint in deep muscle pain across her entire body. she struggled to do the simplest things they tried to tie, gosh thing. i was totally incapacitated law. i remember after my daughter was born, the parent was bad on one night and i wanted to get up and prepare some milk for her. we have 2 steps in our apartment, and it was too much for me to go down to steps into the kitchen, but i put on the kettle and prepare her formula and i couldn't do it fine to stand on to you. i don't wish to my husband, he took us for nancy geiger to be diagnosed with 5 ro, my alger a disorder, apparently linked to the way the central nerve system process as pain. the result

gets into sure, the real ecologist basically told me to take pain killers when needed on, and she recommended doing something relaxing. like yoga. she said she, that was the only treatment available. if you move this type of the one you haven't, and then i tried 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 to 50 or 60 life place, but the idea of just popping pills and relaxing. didn't satisfied her. she started looking for alternatives and discovered a research project at the university hospital in my book. sure, and i think i have to show him the pain researchers cottage fema is trying to change the way her patients perceive pain by using electrical impulses to influence the banner receptors at the base of the carotid artery that are receptors don't just regulate blood pressure, but also indirectly influenced the way we perceive pain. chronic pain seems to

switch off barrow receptors. wendy level that's up to the end of the barrel. receptors are no longer properly active. the brain stem doesn't get feedback about what's happening in the body and stopped. it's a 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. come, if you get something like a little electric shocks, differing strength into something, some don't hurt at all. and to, of course i do notice the stronger ones, the maximum. they make you flinch briefly for them, but it's bearable side. still,

the sensitivity threshold is raised a little each time katya team a can see the effects on her screen. and you can see the blood pressure and pulse rate here. the white dots are the barrow receptors, and each dot shows that a 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 to investigate, but i know i'm and nancy geiger got the stimulation treatment 10 times along with psycho therapy sessions. and the pain disappeared. the because i've got as far as the treatment has transformed my life. and especially when i looked at i was so restricting,

i couldn't do anything i have now. that was especially hard with the children that this has been life changing with the best thing that could ever have happened to me is can content. and 6 years later, for symptoms have not returned. and for over 80 percent of those who took part in the study, the effects of lasted for at least a year. the, the latex from the seed capsule of opium puppy is the 1st time can known cements. and the plant was cultivated. and what is today? iraq over 5000 years ago. nowadays there's a range of analgesics available to us. the classic is a c to follow citic acid, commonly known as aspirin. it's used to reduce pain, fever and inflammation. power system all helps with headaches and tooth. i can also lower a temperature. ibuprofen helps relief mild to moderate pain and fights inflammation . psycho snack relates pain in the muscles and joints. it's often used for sports
