Can placebo be treated for pain?
Can placebo be treated for pain?
Any placebo that looks like practical therapy or medicine
but does not offer or offer specific therapeutic benefits may serve as a
placebo. However, it is important to note that measurable results may still
occur.
WebMD shares that the research on placebo focuses on the
mind / body connection. When described as a fake “drug” stimulus, the study
participants demonstrated faster pulse rates, higher blood pressure, and faster
responses. Pulse, blood pressure and reaction time were all reduced when the
same fake “drug residue” was said to be helpful for sleep. In another study,
participants found measurable relief from depression, sleep disorders,
irritable bowel syndrome, menopause and pain - even though participants were told
to take placebo.
On the other hand, no measurable benefits were found from
the placebo inhaler in the asthma study, although participants reported working
with a "fake" inhaler as well as medication delivery. They reported
that the fake worked well without sitting on anything.
So what's going on here? Changes in body chemistry lead to
predictions. No matter how strongly you expect drive changes - real changes
like boosting endorphin production to ease the pain. Negative evaluations are
also perceived in side effects such as headache, nausea or drowsiness.
What is the cause of this phenomenon? Cell biologist Bruce Lipton calls it "biology."
Our cells are living organisms and they have digestion,
breathing and breathing. They grow by interacting with the cell membrane, which
flows in or out. Decades ago, Bell Laboratories conducted an experiment to
provide oxygen and remove waste from the cells, ultimately determining that the
cells were kept alive and healthy.
In a large organism, like the trillions of cells in the
human body, cells cannot directly obtain environmental information because the
boundaries of the body are beyond the cell membrane. Therefore, the cells rely
on the information sent. The brain decides and electro-chemical signals flow
into the cells and tell about the external environment and the cells respond
accordingly.
Unless there is a problem - we can misunderstand our
perceptions.
Every time you think you have seen something, you have heard
something, you feel something, but, when your brain sends a signal through the
central nervous system and is committed to being part of a group, your cells
believe it.
Something triggered you to start, your stomach clinked, your
pulse accelerated, blood pressure increased, muscles tired - all because your
cells were a real response to danger. Like it or not, your system now has some
unnecessary adrenaline. Similarly with illness, injury and pain - your cells
actually respond, not to the brain. If that perception is exaggerated, the
brain creates unnecessary pain, regulates dynamic physiological processes, and
becomes a source of more inadequate and painful reactions.
Deepak Chopra tells of a patient who had cancer spread to
the bone, so this guy is in a lot of pain. The pain was gone after working at
the Chopra Center - but the gynecologist told her not to worry, that all this
was "on your mind" and that the pain would return! With that new
understanding, it’s back.
Another gentleman said the doctor was severely anemic. The
doctor asked all sorts of questions about what he was feeling and feeling -
were you tired, you were awake without taking less, and again and again
everyone answered negatively. The doctor was surprised. That night, for the
first time, a man sucked, instead of health.
