Almost half of adults in the UK suffer from chronic pain. Yet this
is often unrelated to any physical injury. So why does it still
hurt? Research over the last few decades shows that many of us are
victims of a devilish trick of the nervous system: our brains
prolong pain long after our bodies have healed from injury. This
leads to hundreds of billions of pounds being spent each year on
treatments that sometimes do nothing and sometimes make matters
worse. Paul Biegler, a science journalist and former doctor who has
been on his own pain journey, investigates the true source of
chronic pain - our brain's so-called neuroplasticity - and emerging
therapies that can rewire the brain and end suffering. As he knows
only too well, this doesn't mean pain is all in a person's head.
Pain is real, but its meaning is often misunderstood. Through
conversations with scientists, doctors, and people who have
overcome chronic pain, Biegler shines a light on the rigorous new
studies - and emotional personal stories - that are changing the
way we understand and treat pain. Most importantly, he shows how to
take control over persistent pain and truly heal.
