Fantasy of Knowledge

Carriers of the protective stimulus pain is the nerves. Previously, scientists assumed that nerves - like a power cord - are simple signal lines, whose sole function is to transmit the stimuli. We now know that nerves also have a so-called pain memory: The longer and more frequently, they transmit a pain stimulus, the greater the risk that there will be spun off the pain, chronic, and thus independent disease. Early adequate relief of acute pain is therefore very important to avoid the formation of a pain memory and prevent consequences of a chronic pain disorder such as depression and social loneliness.
