The relationship between pain and mood


The pain may feel more pain when the feeling someone is ugly or bad mood. So if you are sick you should not think about the negatives because it would only exacerbate the pain suffered.
According to a study led by Mathew Roy from Columbia University, pain combined with the negative feelings will only increase the pain.
Together with his partner, Roy gives electric shock to the 13 participants to measure levels of pain and spontaneous reactions. Some time after being given an electric shock, participants are shown images of pleasant, unpleasant and neutral pictures.

Researchers studied the brains of participants simultaneously using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The result, participants who saw the images that trigger unpleasant negative feelings (bad mood) felt a greater pain for a moment after being given an electric shock.
The results of brain scans showed that parts of the brain that control pain becomes less active when participants saw them feel bad moods. But after their mood enhanced by listening to music, the pain was gradually reduced.
This study shows that the bad feelings or thoughts that arise will have a direct impact pain. It also reinforced the theory that someone who is ill should be positive and pleasant thoughts, because if otherwise, it will only increase the pain.
