A perception that varies from one individual to another
Pain is an extremely complex feeling to which everyone reacts in a completely different way. The same person can also react more or less strongly to pain depending on the time of day and the circumstances. Studies have shown that when we focus on pain, we feel it much more intensely. On the other hand, when our attention is diverted by something pleasant, we feel it less. Anxiety, stress and depression also reinforce one's perception of pain.
It is very important to intervene immediately so that the pain does not go from the acute stage to the chronic stage. In this context, analgesics are an effective aid. But any drug can, as we know, cause side effects. That is why painkillers not only are not suitable for everyone, but also that the dose cannot be increased infinitely. Hence the interest of alternative therapies which take over and make it possible to limit the use of analgesics.
