When pain stops being a symptom and becomes a disease
In short: Explore the neurological mystery of chronic pain through the lens of Elliot Krane, who examines how the nervous system can transform a simple injury into a self-sustaining cycle of suffering.
While we often view pain as a warning signal, the nervous system can develop feedback loops that turn it into a standalone disease. This video follows the case of a girl whose sprained wrist evolved into a persistent nightmare, illustrating the complex mechanisms behind chronic pain and the emerging science of how to treat it.
