Health And BeautifuL

Professor Dr. Hartmut Göbel, director of the pain hospital Kiel, summarizes the newest realizations: “By picture we know giving procedures today that the male and female brain with same pai stimulus differently react. The sexes experience pain differently, and they deal also very differently with it.” In each case it is however importantly, promptly something against acute everyday life pain at head, back, to undertake joints or muscles. A crucial role comes to the movement, like professor Dr. Klaus peoples, director of the institute for sport medicine of the university clinic Münster, stressed: “There is a multiplicity of explanation beginnings, why sport works for example against headache. Which we know in any case, is that he works.”

The female pain on the trace

Three times more frequently than men women under migraine suffer, also a hurting back must it more frequently bear. “Pain could bear the common conception, women better, is not durable so any longer”, says Göbel. In psychophysischen experiments women reacted almost twice as pain-sensitively to attractions such as men. In addition, then Gehirnscans showed, the limbische system are more strongly activated, which is responsible for emotional experiencing and which provides for the connection of the woman to the family and thus for stronger protection and co-operation.

With men however rather the cognitive and analytic ranges of the perception become lively – and so urine-stunk the “defense” activates. Determines the different reactions of the sexes to pain: Women concentrate more on emotional and interhuman aspects, let themselves rather be helped, take rather medicines and go in former times to the physician. Men ignore the pain more frequently, look for explanations and causes and want the problem to solve.

With effective preventive measures and a compatible treatment everyday life pain should be promptly fought, guesses Göbel: “Otherwise complex, suffering which can be treated with difficulty, like we can develop them in our hospital see daily.” It is important to eliminate the causes such as stress and physical overloads.

Miracle drug movement

Movement and sport is a key to the prevention and management of everyday life pain, describes peoples by the example of the headache: “Constantly new positive effects of the physical activity are discovered. No matter how late and as intensive – it is always worthwhile itself to come in motion.” Thus paid when physical effort materials such as serotonin and Endorphin, which reduce the pain perception, fears to solve and the tendency up brighten. Also the condition of the containers is improved, which can lead in particular with Migränepatienten to improvements of the symptomatology.

With tension headache one should give special attention to the muscles, as emphasized peoples: “Modern humans are guessed/advised from the balance. If we must carry the weight of the head, which is supported under normal circumstances by our skeleton for muscles at the PC kauern, our for example. Spannings and headache are during a false attitude the result.” By a classical back school the complaints can be reduced, but also the Chinese Qi gong is very effective. By the way the comfortably back-leaned “Lümmeln” is rehabilitated on a chair with seat-back: „A new study showed that thereby the volume disks are loaded less than when upright standing.”

Pain killers correctly use

If despite prevention in the everyday life nevertheless pain should arise, also the income of a compatible prescription-free pain killer is to be recommended. “Pain to bear is no virtue”, got straight Göbel: “Pain killers protect the nervous system in the case of acute against excessive pain stimulation and stress. So chronic pain can be avoided.” About it is important to use pain killers with only one active substance: “A medicine of the first choice is thereby the acetylsalicylic acid. The aspirin active substance alleviates the pain, activates the pain defense mechanisms, restrains inflammations and stops the pain messenger materials.”

Combination preparations Göbel advises against however. Analyses from its hospital show that medicines with several active substances and Koffein were frequently overdosed, which to a continuous headache as well as a increased risk of stomach, kidney and liver damages can lead. In principle pain killers should be taken maximally on ten days per month. Because of the special risk of a over use the international headache company set a clear lower border threshold however for mixture preparations. “With pain, which does not fade away partout or arises again and again, one should absolutely visit a physician”, pleads to Göbel finally.
