Source link Pain control is a major priority for doctors, medical staff and patients alike. As a result, medical research communities are continually looking for new ways to manage and reduce pain. A recent study, published in ScienceDaily, provides news on the latest developments in pain control.
The study looked at the effects of volitional control on pain. This includes identifying the physiological factors that respond to different pain stimuli and how individuals can manage the intensity and duration of the pain. The research found that people with greater volitional control can reduce pain more effectively than those with less control.
The study also looks at neuroimaging techniques to determine the source of the pain and the effects of different treatments. This includes non-invasive procedures such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). This technique uses electric currents applied to the brain to modify pain perception and reduce pain intensity in patients.
In addition to this research, the team examined the effects of biofeedback, a lesser known yet effective method of pain control. The study revealed that this technique can be used to reduce the intensity of pain, as well as its duration. This is especially useful in patients with chronic pain or those with medical conditions where pain is difficult to manage.
The study is highly comprehensive and provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of different techniques of pain control. It is a valuable resource for medical staff and patients looking to reduce and manage pain. Additionally, it provides an indication of how future medical research might explore new treatments to improve pain control.
Overall, the research published in ScienceDaily provides valuable news and developments in pain control. It offers insight into the effects of different treatments, and how the use of volitional control and biofeedback may be helpful in reducing painful symptoms.
