The New Science of Pain: It's Not Just Physical with Dr. Rachel Zoffness

The New Science of Pain: It's Not Just Physical with Dr. Rachel Zoffness

Pain psychologist Dr. Rachel Zoffness joins Forrest and Dr. Rick to explore what pain is, why it can persist long after an injury has healed, and what actually helps. Rachel explains why the brain, rather than the body part that hurts, is what constructs pain, the difference between acute and chronic pain, and the distinction between hurt (what you feel) and harm (what's damaged). They get into the biopsychosocial model, the "pain dial" that stress, sleep, mood, and social connection can turn up or down, the disappointing response rates for most pain treatments, why pain is absolutely not “just in your head,” what sham surgery and open-label placebo studies reveal about how pain works, and why the research is so hard to interpret. This is not medical advice. Please do not start, change, or discontinue any medication based on this episode. All decisions should be made with your doctor.
