that help our medication were putting a cool. what towel on her head last on it this or the started in elementary school back then it was still fairly manageable. but for the past year, roughly, since the onset of the corona virus, the headaches, i've gotten a lot worse, totally frustration they're more frequent and much more intense a common dinner time. we can conceive her on a hopes to get help at a practice that specializes in pain management. doctor b, i'm seeing an increase in younger patients with stress related headaches. she thinks the mental strain from pandemic restrictions and the subsequent anxiety play apart rather kinda the usual inks to have children who are already prone to science . in depression, you can see an intensification of symptoms which may include like, or sematic factors for months. so they might become more nervous, informal, complain, far more frequently a stomachache, intention, headaches, up from out to another cause among chronic pain sufferers like ana is homeschooling
11:35 am
. i for that reason the doctor recommends taking regular breaks and getting plenty of exercise. it can feel idle and the children like on it should go outside for half an hour at least once a day to get fresh air. and let's see mister, poor margaret, she get the hot pumping. the losing account about the hours of sitting in front of the screen going to pain specialist paid off for anna. she know knows what she can do to make her. so feel a little better. and being able to relax means those terrible headaches are no bothering her far less often. if you get headaches, often doctors recommend keeping a pain diary day you can make a note of when the headache began and how long it lasted. it's intensity or associated symptoms. that's just notion. there are also that make it easy to do.

it could help to pinpoint the causes and pain treat is often tense, muscles are to blame, particularly common in the neck area. the tension pressure difficulty turning the head back and shoulders tensed up. all typical symptoms of neck pain, half of all adults have to deal with it at least once in their lives. the typical remedies are massaged drugs or special exercises. the bad news is that these measures usually only help the neck and the short term be on storm and how it goes even all the time. and again and not only with people working at a desk,
11:37 am
that's probably more problems with the neck and head effect. everything, whether i'm reading a book, doing a crossword, chatting with friends on the computer, or researching something on the internet at the same applies to watching tv. anything that involves pushing my head forward puts a strain on my neck. the focus to put him in the most common problem is that people posture while sitting at a desk get so bad that certain muscle groups that should be relaxed, got to become tense. and because the muscles of course to work permanently, they get tired and tense up, and it the tension that causes pain to specify much the standard forward leaning rigid posture at the desk, puts up to 5 times more strain on the muscles of the spine than the normal position with the head raised that can mean an extra load of up to 30 kilograms. in the same thing happens while driving or using christiane storms. colleague,
11:38 am
isabelle demonstrates how strenuous working in front of a laptop can be on the neck. the orthopedic surgeon takes photos to illustrate where the problems lie is she's looking down at a much steeper angle than on a normal computer on can on your head is further forward. the kitchen is down the shoulders and forward and back is hunched. and that puts a big strain on the back after a while. and not only are the shoulders pulled forward, but far too often, they're pulled upwards as well. i'm, i don't know if you're constantly sitting with your shoulders. sure you bring your shoulders forward. then there's a lot of tension in those neck muscles. that's where the pain starts, is it causes headaches to and effects the whole area. and you can customize, ah, so which treatments are best? one analysis compared several studies on the effectiveness of medically prescribed
11:39 am
measures. and the results were surprising injections limited effectiveness, acupuncture provide only partial relief and the benefits of electro therapy, unclear mccullen, the statement which can tackle symptoms and provide short term relief. but the underlying court hasn't gone away. it's still lit up. mm. what are the contents in each individual case? one way to find out is to improve self awareness. this can be done using an m g, and electro, my graphy, elgar leap and use the surface electrodes to measure muscle activity or tennis in the neck of it's called the candidate and he does this indifferent head and shoulder position. just getting ready to get into position and type and then look to the left to see the reaction. see the graph shows the muscle
11:40 am
activity. now sit up straight and let the shoulders hang. it's much better. the wave immediately decreases. that means the muscle is much less active. this, even your action on your muscle activity appears that the reading on the monitor, the fact that henry can influence this with his posture counts as a learning success. success if this is the typical effective biofeedback. feedback means we feel a change in the body while symbol, technically seeing that change. this combination is extremely effective and you don't forget it in the summer in the race can also train self awareness. you wear it for hours at a time. the effect on isabel was her ankle. a vision improved. she no longer pushes her head so far forward. and her back is less round. the dodger to back break acts as a kind of reminder, we call it a reminder or do you feel like pressure or attention that makes you realize oh yes,
11:41 am
i'm supposed to sit up straight and that's me. better posture equalled less pain in the long term. this can only be achieved with training on storms. recommendations, stretch the front and strengthen the back exercises with the resistance bands strengthen the muscles between the shoulder blades in this way. they can better support the large pictorial muscle. important for muscular balanced the pectoral muscle is usually short and that needs to be stretched extensively. this can also be done at any doorframe. the good news with a little patience, something can be done about step or neck pain. pills that contain no active ingredients, but still caused pain to disappear. doctors call this the placebo effect. medical studies to see those are used to test the efficacy of actual medication.
11:42 am
surprisingly, in many instances, study participants that are given to see those also experience and left. sometimes shock and awe, the professional rica bingo is trying to unravel. the mystery behind the placebo effect studies have shown that up the hall of the pain relieving effects that occur after taking medication can be attributed to the non active treatment, the vanish cancer. and my last couple, if i rarely take headache tablets, that helped me off to just 10 minute inexplicable info mac genetic time. and it's probably more due to my positive expectations and positive, previous experience. because impugning physiological terms, it takes 30 minutes to an hour to have an effect. putting it in one study, subjects were given a pain killer, intravenously, one also receiving
11:43 am
a pain stimulus. when subtext knew they were getting a pain reliever, it proved more effective. and west subjects thought they were not getting a pain killer. it had little or no effect caused fast. basically, a placebo held its by helping us activate the bodies pain relief on the tv. and our bodies have a system that in addition to conveying pain to the brain, can also inhibit pain processing, where it begins in the spinal cord. does look marks as if i don't talk to a funny man, smith. ok. the potential a placebo, however, can't be fully realized outside of studies. in germany, for example, doctors aren't allowed to give patient surplus cbo without their knowledge, though they can take what are called open labeled marion, you know, was given a placebo in addition to painkillers. the research had told her that the pill
11:44 am
contained no active ingredients, yet it had an effect. none the less i have the feeling it was getting better at times. but the intensity of the pain decrease. and i started wondering whether it really was just good to see, but let's see what an experience confirmed by the steady test objects you knew they were taking placebo felt less pain. but how is that possible. busy not to question research is can still speculate on cargo van many illnesses get back around that all come and go. and then it has the fun part of the close to study and get pain really fast. and then of course, i'm going to link the to see by treatment actually off the personal mouth and turn fuels. my positive expectation for the rest of the study, a lot of food and vital. it's a theory, but we don't fully understand the question about time. this is me. what is certain
11:45 am
is that the dummy therapy cause no change in physical conditions such as mobility, placebos only improved the individual's subjective perception and sensation of pain . clean vinny might not sound like much, but this is for a lot of patients, a con, holding up to 15 percent of the population suffers from chronic pain and he's still not getting adequate treatment. and they also have litigation. disposal is limited percent. oh, money in glue, now it's now able to work out again some things she was previously scared of doing due to the pain. and she intend to keep on taking the perceive. i think my mind is not telling me i might need them though and know that i could actually stop taking them opposite and couldn't see those can help to relieve pain
11:46 am
and being void of active ingredients for yes. side effects. what is the world's most popular home remedies for headaches is coffee. small studies show that the aromatic beverage actually helps. in some cases, caffeine constricts the and slow down pain promoting mere transmitters. but the rest of being brew continued even more. stuff on the leash, that is the owner of this berlin. coffee rose 3. he knows everything about this classic conte beverage from trivia to more important information such as whether espresso has a particularly high caffeine content that's as chris. all right, so definitely does not have more caffeine than regular coffee county. it can be measured. that's called my mason and it's presto contains around 50 milligrams of caffeine and a couple of filter coffee around to 80 milligram cities. and that's because the longer the contact between the boiling water and the coffee, the more caffeine is extracted contact in this,
11:47 am
in the coffee emerald ex quite in the case of an express. so the contact is brief only around 30 seconds. gordon supervisor. i rude coffee. take several minutes to pass through the filter and therefore extract more caffeine. the car. yes. and this caffeine. unhealthy. what effect does it have on our heart and blood pressure? caffeine is one of the oldest stimulus known to human kind, boost bodies, metabolic rate. and depending on the drinker can cause a breach, spike, and pressure. so people who need to have their blood pressure checked should refrain from drinking coffee, half an hour beforehand. otherwise, the reading will be deceptively higher. but high blood pressure patients can still drink coffee. doctors say that 45 today is fine unless the drink causes an upset stomach. this depends to a degree on the type of coffee. the erotic a variety, for example,
11:48 am
has only half the level of acidity above the beam management. and the 1st thing i'd say to people with sensitive stomach is to buy 100 percent. a wrap, a coffee, if possible, coffee, colorful, would not put, then i'll be call done movie. so then go for dr. rosie and coffee express stone. and finally, let's don't leave the pot on the warming place for too long after making the coughing off. that's what i don't longer see. unless another common conception is that drinking coffee has a dehydrating effect on the body. is that true? coffee in, built in giving a low dose of caffeine has a highly stimulating effect and accelerates the autonomic nervous system knocked off. and so all coffee drinkers will notice that the water they consume is flushed back out of the body more quickly about coffee doesn't in itself extract water from the body buffer in seat. but as is the case elsewhere,
11:49 am
drink in moderation. and now we have a question for you. what's the 1st thing you eat or drink in the morning and wine? if you tell us about it might just when a special backpacks stuff with full scale, you can take d w with you wherever you go. right to us or better yet, send a photo or a video t d w dot com slash slash my morning or by email. the deadline is august, thanks. looking forward to hearing from you and hands are amazing. they can crit and hold and handle both hard labor and perform tongues that require light, touch light, help us to communicate and reassure. ah, i have millions of sensors for pressure and temperature. that's why injuries to the has specially painful. when skinner behind is inflame it can become
11:50 am
a torment. manuel has rediscovered the simple joy of being able to hold a hot drink in his hand. something that would have been unthinkable just 6 weeks ago. the howard, i'll be gone in and out. my skins started to develop a rash, which i initially underestimated. then it started to flake hot and gradually there was this growing pressure in the skin as if the skin was too small for my hands to help in. and then it started to crack and bleed. blue they don't, is ascii plot. this is what his hands used to look like. he was diagnosed with hand, eczema, non contagious, but very common ailment. in mine was case, it was likely triggered by his job and he's a mechanic and does a lot of work with his hands. suzanne has had hand eczema for a year. now. she works in music marketing. in her case,
11:51 am
the causes were from her own body. he was been yeah, and i did mainly my allergies. i'm stressed under the stress factor, which is hard to suppress. what does this then i get these little bubbles forming under the skin and it's horribly itchy, but then you start to scratch them off the captain. manuel required hospital stay so that doctors could get to the bottom of what was putting his hands in such a terrible state. one could attend, i didn't, i'm patient what's an environment where he's in contact with irritating substances . damn with us. so he has to wear gloves a lot and washes hums, frequently hint of action on idea. all of that is compounded by the presence of moisture to cause damage to the skin barrier and ultimately to the hum ducks most 101400 egg. same 1st, doctors performed what was called an epi, cutaneous test, which involves sticking a patch containing small amounts of contract,
11:52 am
allergens to the patient skin. the aim is to determine whether manuel has an allergies a possible cause of the present using our hands to do anything is extremely arduous and painful. her skin to burn up and the etching is unbearable and the natural reaction scratching just makes it worse. she feels helpless and the psychological element makes it worse to me. does not stirred, bothers me in particular that it's on my hands because you shake hands when you greet people, especially people that you don't know him out of money. mcneish kent, haven't yet. manuel allergy test, he turns up negative. so doctors are also at a loss as to which chemical agent is causing the inflammation when it comes to protecting his skin glove material is crucial of the islands. i think if the central clubs made no more suitable for home next month,
11:53 am
because that reasonable and after and then i asked for rubber gloves to study work, or they caused the patient to sweat more decent and not moist environment exacerbate symptom most familiar contest and freshly the home, so in the future, manuel will have to cover his hands with his hands will also be exposed to u. v. a. radiation. applying a special notion beforehand increases the effectiveness of the treatment. although the risks from exposure to radiation mean that photo therapy can only be used for a brief period another short term option for hand eczema is cortisone. cortisol claims in fish evening, there was various courses i creams of different strengths available. we are not traditionally a strong ones have a rapid inflammatory effect relative, should they find the fact that they make the skin simmer. so we switch fairly quickly to medium strength creation to then gradually face the mouth as it is high
11:54 am
speed. that means using them only every 2 or 3 days, and on and eventually the amos ts called his own free creams. suzanne's treatment involved cal senior and inhibitors, which are used to relieve the aging by slowing on the immune systems response aah against. enjoys, should pick up in severe cases where the external therapy is not sufficient. we can prescribe tablets that contain, but the minay behind isn't in the fan. the problem here is that the patient is a young woman. she has to avoid getting pregnant and found here, waiting to find a shaft from my most. and if you do want to prescribe them to young women, they need to be closely monitored. to get control for the leash. but above all proper hand cares essential for hand eczema sufferers. moisturizing creams served as a kind of liquid glove that protects the vital skin barrier. susan reads cream on her
11:55 am
hands up to 20 times a day, and is careful to wash her hands only in lukewarm water. and with franklin's free soaps and when it's cold outside, susan always wears gloves. she's helping herself and the resulting drop in stress is also good for her skin. ah! now lets get moving. come on off the couch. it's time to work out put the v and stop. now for the next exercise, mountain climbers. the starts and push up position. your arms should be shoulder, went to park, and now one after the other. pull your knees up to your chair. find from both fast. i'm not challenging enough. you can hop from on
