Your brain on pain
I've written a fair bit about pain and its treatment over the years (see Inflammation: why you’re fat, sick, tired, depressed and in pain… and what to do about it, The surprising – and disturbing – effects of paracetamol on your mind, The placebo paradox and Where is your emotional pain showing up?), and for good reason - chronic pain is quite shockingly prevalent, and highly costly both economically and psychosocially.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
