You touch something hot and your brain triggers a reflex action that causes you to withdraw your hand. That kind of pain is actually good for us; it acts as an alarm that warns us of danger and keeps us away from harm. There is another kind of pain that is more like a curse: chronic pain that is not related to injury. Cervero describes current research into the mysteries of chronic pain and efforts to develop more effective treatments. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Pain. 650 0 Pain perception. 650 0 Pain|xTreatment. 650 2 Pain. 650 2 Pain Management. 650 2 Pain Measurement. 650 2 Pain Perception. 650 7 HEALTH & FITNESS|xPain Management.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL|xPain Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 Pain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01050382 650 7 Pain perception.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01050429 650 7 Pain|xTreatment.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01050415 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCervero, Fernando.|tUnderstanding pain. |dCambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, ©2012|z9780262018043 |w(DLC) 2012003899|w(OCoLC)781277860 914 ocn809043366 994 93|bGTK
