Biological Psychology

What is pain? To start with here are some kinds of pain that we all feel from time to time. Acute pain like feeling acute soreness. Chronic pain when we feel pain all the time. There is what is known as Pain sensitivity that means the loss of normal functioning due to chronic pain. Then there is what we all know as headaches from stress and tension to migraines to sinus. There are presenting items that help us to discuss and describe these kinds of pain and the problems that they cause. The theory of the pain: 1. can it be associated with some kind of damage that is observed somehow. 2. There is damage that occurs without pain or pain can occur without damage. 3. Huge damage can produce a kind of euphoria like some feel in Battlefield problems or in the triage area or even in the ER and the kind of life these people live. 4. There is severe pain where damage and euphoria work together.

Chronic pain could or will produce withdrawal from life along with depression. The treatment of pain most commonly is the use of massage. There is a theory named 'Melzach and Wahl Gate Theory of Pain' and Step one is the information in the spinal cord is schematic information along with the free nerve endings and everywhere else freely associating with pain. The upper 1/3 at the spinal cord to the brainstem is a set of transparent cells or 'substantsporsina cells'. Hypnosis and meditation can eliminate the pain by 20%. So the pain does happen, but it does not hurt as much as before the treatment. Rubbing the area of the pain so that it doesn't hurt as much is like 'opening and closing the gate'. The affect the emotional systems and feelings for there are specific parts of the body that control pain as a ratio detector. This is a pre-nerve ending where information to everything else treat the pain and increase activity.

The Story of Opiates

Morphine and heroine are both addictive substances that can reduce pain and has a profound effect on the brain and all the receptors in the brain for the opiates to work like they are suppose to work. We have all learned from the many news reports that people now just want the 'high' of these drugs, but saying that they still feel the physical body pain they always felt. There are naturally occurring opiates in the brain that are ingrained in the body like a form of morphine that is an endorphins that are to do something to the self.

Pain and the kinds of pain are characteristics with several qualities and pain levels like the idiosyncratic differing in the levels that also vary with the individual, but does not vary directly with the damage. Can pain occur without damage at all? Absent with extreme damage the perception is complex to interpret. Erase pain with hypnosis and massage along with stress and anxiety and other types of pain. There are odd issues like 'Phantom pain' or referred pain that are odd associations with pain and pleasure centers. Odd behaviors with the use of opiates free the odd nerve endings along two tracks for the pain information to the brain where the unmyelinated nerve cells are small and the myelinated nerve cells are large. The small are slow and the large are fast. There is a brighter and quicker pain to start with then just a dull pain after that.

Theory of Pain is that the opiates allow the gate control almost pleasurable or allows the hurt. There are discovered naturally occurring derivatives of these opiates. A quick assay of something in the brain that takes a sample of the tissue using separate chemical portions and how this influences screening with a vast defense that suspends in fluid like a small shack to the fluid tissue to control and pain is suppressed and no feeling in the receptors from mild to stoned feelings that are related to the opiates.
