Item description from seller

Paperback. One in five adults lives with chronic pain. The science that could help them has existed for decades. Almost none of it has reached them. Pain is the most common reason people seek medical care, the largest single cause of disability worldwide, and one of the most poorly understood experiences in medicine. For more than three centuries, doctors have operated on a model of pain borrowed from the seventeenth century - the idea that pain is a signal transmitted from damaged tissue to the brain, proportional to the injury, and best treated by finding and fixing the source. That model is wrong. In Pain: The Body's Most Misunderstood Signal, Nathan K. Voss draws on the neuroscience of the past sixty years to explain what pain actually is: not a signal from the body, but a construction of the brain - shaped by memory, expectation, fear, social context, and the nervous system's own learned history. A brain that has learned to be in pain can sustain it long after the original injury has healed. And a nervous system that has learned pain can, with the right engagement, begin to unlearn it. Spanning ten chapters across five parts, this book covers: - Why the brain builds pain rather than receives it - and what this means for treatment- Phantom limb pain: how the brain generates agony in body parts that no longer exist- The neuroscience of placebo analgesia - and why it is not "all in your head"- The opioid crisis as a failure of pain science, not just pharmaceutical greed- Chronic pain as a learned neural pattern - and the evidence that it can be reversed- The psychology of suffering: catastrophising, fear-avoidance, and the treatable neuroscience behind them- Who gets believed: the sex and racial disparities in pain treatment and their traceable historical origins- The new treatments - graded motor imagery, pain neuroscience education, virtual reality, brain stimulation - that the science has made possible Written with the clarity and narrative drive that the subject demands, Pain is essential reading for the millions of people living with chronic pain, the clinicians treating them, and anyone who wants to understand one of the most fundamental - and most misunderstood - aspects of human experience. The science is here. The understanding is possible. And it changes everything. This item is printed on demand.
