Deep dives
Understanding Pain Sensitivity
Pain sensitivity can be influenced by various psychosocial factors rather than solely by tissue damage. The concept of a 'pain dial' is introduced, which represents different patient-specific factors that can amplify or reduce symptoms. When clinicians engage in discussions with patients about these levers, it promotes a collaborative approach to identifying what aspects can be modified to alleviate pain. By understanding this sensitivity, healthcare providers can offer more tailored treatment options that address the complex interplay between physical sensations and emotional responses.
