Chronic pain is now more prevalent in the U.S. than either depression or diabetes. Two recent studies have found new ways of addressing and understanding chronic pain:
, published May 22 in the journal, researchers glimpsed into the brain activity of people experiencing chronic pain. Their findings confirm that acute and chronic pain trigger different signals in the brain.
Rather than rely on traditional brain-scan methods that require complex equipment and can only capture short bursts of information, a team of neurologists at the University of California, San Francisco surgically embedded small devices into the brains of patients with chronic nerve pain.
The researchers conclude that brain activity could be used to predict and measure chronic pain waves. The Norwegian study, meanwhile, is a good reminder that lifestyle interventions will always be a critical part of addressing certain chronic illnesses.
