and who wants to know more about the topics that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk costs it can feel 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 or in the file on this,

incoming nerve impulses are filtered 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. the 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 psycho sematic pain, can cause the problem itself. that's another reason why it's often difficult to treat panes effectively. 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 of the urinary tract. crows, disease and inflammatory bowel disease which causes blowing and stomach cramps, giving bath 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 miles to a chronic condition, which triggers constant pain, especially in the joints. nancy geiger was 27 years old when she 1st started getting pain beginning after so kind of the for so some told in the beginning i had a 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, 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. hopefully emma stuff noises kite. but worst of all was the joint in the muscle pain across her entire body. she struggled to do the simplest things. they still have 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. and 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 fiber o my alger a disorder, apparently linked to the way the central nervous system process as pain is on the

website. they should the rule 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 guy didn't want to have that. and then i thought with where will this and it's, it's fine if it's like this at the age of 32. listen, what about one on a 40 or 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 and university hospital in my book. sure nothing 1000 sure here was a pain researchers cottage fema is trying to change the way her patients perceive pain by using electrical impulses to influence the barrel 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 switch off barrow receptors. preventive outlets of twice now there's 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 you do notice the stronger ones, the maximum, they make you flinch briefly for them,

but it's bearable. slide show them the sensitivity threshold is raised a little each time khaki team a can see the effects on her screen. as you can see, the blood pressure and pulse rates 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 like an 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 sites more nothing. then i woke up in the morning and felt like a new person from the fish, but i know you mentioned nancy geiger got the stimulation treatment 10 times along with psycho therapy sessions. and the pain disappeared, the because after i left so much, the treatment has transformed my life. and especially when i looked back,

i was so restricting, i couldn't do anything. now that was especially hard with the children. it was, this has been life changing with the best thing that could ever have happened to me is cont, conti. and 6 years later, her 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 killing, known cements, and the child 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 information. piracy. some all helps with headaches and toothache. i'm can also lower a temperature. ibuprofen helps relief mild to moderate pain and fights,
