"Recent research into chronic pain, which afflicts millions of Americans, has led to a surprising source: the brain."
""Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley talks with Dr. Sanjay Gupta (a neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent for CNN) about his new book, "It Doesn't Have to Hurt," and about the body's defenses against pain."
"She also talks with heavy metal musician Ed Mowery, whose decades-long experience with complex regional pain syndrome (or CRPS) led to a revolutionary surgery and treatment."
Recent research identifies the brain as a surprising source of chronic pain affecting millions of Americans. New medical work explains how the body's defenses influence pain perception and argues for brain-centered approaches. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can persist for decades and may require revolutionary surgical interventions and multidisciplinary treatment. A case of a heavy metal musician with long-term CRPS resulted in innovative surgery and subsequent therapies that changed his outcome. Advances in neuroscience offer new diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for chronic pain management and recovery.
