I-Function, Pain And Memory

I Functions, pain, and memory pain can have sustained effects on life and memory. It can literally "change" who you are "you". "You" will vary according to the input of your nervous system reception and response. Permanent changes can be seen in long-term memory by considering input by manufacturing of new proteins stored in memory. Pain can be a very powerful input to the nervous system, with various effects, can be dormant for a long time, and can be preserved in long term memory.

Neurofeedback directly affects pain management. By learning self-regulation of brain function, patients can modify electrical activity in areas of the brain, including pain management, pain perception, or pain memory. For example, it can alleviate or even eliminate pain, as well as many comorbidities including depression or anxiety. Psychological factors affecting the perception of pain have the ability to change the biochemical processes of our bodies. Thinking may directly affect these processes and have analgesic effects. Indeed, there is evidence that cognitive control of pain directly affects opioid activity and can stimulate endorphin production.

The persistence of painful memory can transcend its beneficial function and lead to research on ways to alleviate chronic pain. Studies have shown that the best way to stop chronic pain is to prevent the formation of painful memories first. Anesthesia prevents a conscious mind from forming a painful memory when injured such as surgery. However, the nervous system can still form its own painful memory. Health experts found that analgesics - drugs to prevent neuropathic pain - were administered to patients prior to surgery to prevent chronic pain memory formation, thereby reducing the incidence of chronic pain.

Most people with chronic pain are aware of the difficulty of memory and attention. In the objective psychological test, there was a problem with memory power, attention, speech ability, mental flexibility, thinking speed. Pain is also accompanied by an increase in depression, anxiety, fear and anger. Persistent pain reduces function and overall quality of life and reduces the morale of people with pain and those who care for them. Cancer pain can be caused by mechanical (eg compression) or chemical (eg inflammatory) stimulation of specific pain signal nerve endings (called nociceptive pain) found in the majority of the body. Cause nerve, in this case, it is called neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain usually accompanies other sensations such as needles and needles
