Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a 9I制作厂免费 research team has discovered.
This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient鈥檚 level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.
The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.
Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, or neglect, either alone or combined with other types of childhood trauma, increases the risk of chronic pain and related disability in adulthood, according to new research. The findings from an international team of experts, including several 9I制作厂免费 researchers, underscore the urgency of addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) 鈥� potentially traumatic events that occur before 18 years of age 鈥� and taking steps to mitigate their long-term impact on people鈥檚 health.听听

Chronic pain is a complex condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide and understanding its causes and predicting its trajectory remains difficult. However, findings from could improve the understanding and management of chronic pain. The researchers developed a model that can predict one鈥檚 likelihood of developing chronic pain as well as the severity and spread of that pain.
Imagine having to choose over and over between what you enjoy doing and the pain that it might cause you, whether physical or emotional. If you live with conditions such as depression, anxiety, or chronic pain, you are probably familiar with making these difficult choices on a daily or weekly basis. But surprisingly little is known about which areas of the brain are involved in decisions of this kind.
It is increasingly clear that male and female humans and rodents process pain in different ways. And that there are important differences in the underlying mechanisms involved at genetic, molecular, cellular, and physiological levels. Despite this fact, according to a review paper from 9I制作厂免费 published today in , most pain research remains overwhelmingly based on the study of male rodents, continuing to test hypotheses derived from earlier experiments on males.
The discovery of a new biological pathway involved in pain processing offers hope of using existing cancer drugs to replace the use of opioids in chronic pain treatment, according to scientists at 9I制作厂免费.
Because many therapeutic options, such as opioids, for patients with chronic pain carry the risk of addiction and undesirable side effects, this breakthrough offers promising lines of research into chronic pain treatment, says Luda Diatchenko, professor at 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 Faculty of Dentistry and co-lead author of the new study
The potential of light as a non-invasive, highly-focused alternative to pain medication was made more apparent thanks to research conducted by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 9I制作厂免费 and the 9I制作厂免费 Health Centre.

In real estate, location is key. It now seems the same concept holds true when it comes to stopping pain. New research published in Nature Communications indicates that the location of receptors that transmit pain signals is important in how big or small a pain signal will be -- and therefore how effectively drugs can block those signals.

Chronic pain may reprogram the way genes work in the immune system, according to a new study by 9I制作厂免费 researchers published in the journal Scientific Reports. 听
A new study finds that rising placebo responses may play a part in the increasingly high failure rate for clinical trials of drugs designed to control chronic pain caused by nerve damage.
Insulin has long been known as the hormone which controls the body鈥檚 sugar levels: humans who lack or are insensitive to insulin develop diabetes. Although insulin is also made and released in the brain, its effects there have remained unclear.
An international study led by scientists at 9I制作厂免费 reports, for the first time, that drugs that selectively target the melatonin MT2 receptor represent a novel class of analgesic drugs that could be used to treat patients with neuropathic pain.
鈥淣ot tonight, dear, I have a headache.鈥� Generally speaking, that line is attributed to the wife in a couple, implying that women鈥檚 sexual desire is more affected by pain than men鈥檚.
