Positive Mood Could Blow Over The Pain

Have the emotions (mood/mood) are positive, many of its benefits. One of them, can relieve the pain! So the conclusion of the study results, the team of scientists led by Mathieu Roy from Columbia University, New York, USA.




"We are investigating the relationship between the brain, emotions, and pain. To be precise, what happens when the pain felt by our brains, and how if it was combined with the negative emotions, "says Roy. "It turns out, emotions can determine how we react to pain-because they are very concerned."


Research
Tim Roy observed 13 subject research on reaction of electric shock that causes the knee jerks study participants. The study participants feel the electric shock, they look to the pictures of the fun (for example the main water skiing in summer), unpleasant (for example a creepy bear), and was neutral (e.g. a book).


Well, at the same time, the research team scans the brain activity of the participants.


"We find that looking at pictures of unpleasant cause pain that is more powerful on the subject of a study that is experiencing the shock (due to electric shock) than if you look at the pictures are fun," says Roy.


It doesn't seem to support the research studies that reveal the past Roy pleasant music can ease the pain. "Our findings demonstrate non-drug interventions, such as photography or obatanm music that can increase a person's mood, can be used in health care to ease the pain!"


The latest findings of a team of Roy has published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" Edition last week.
