Money can reduce pain

Instead of taking drugs, we can count money to relieve pain every time we have an injury or illness.

Every year the world spends billions of dollars on painkillers and this number increases with time. But the scientific community still does not understand why with the same trauma some people seem more painful than others.

To clarify the reality, scientists at the University of Minnesota, USA recruited a group of students and conducted an experiment. Telegraph said, they divided volunteers into two groups and handed out a group of 80 100-dollar bills, while the other group received 80 blank sheets. Volunteers were asked to count how many sheets did not know the purpose of the test. Experts only say they want to check the level of dexterity of fingers when manipulating paper.

Then both groups of volunteers dipped their hands into a bowl of very hot water. Scientists asked them to describe the degree of pain with a scale. In addition, the volunteer must specify how long they felt pain.

The results showed that all recipients felt less pain and shorter pain times.

The University of Minnesota finding shows that the brain can be controlled to quell or reduce pain without taking medication.

A study by the University of Los Angeles, USA shows that seeing photos of loved ones can help us reduce pain. So scientists recommend that people bring their loved ones with them when they are hospitalized. And Loyola University experts found that patients who had surgery could reduce the amount of painkillers by caressing pets.
