The researchers argue that a magnified image of the body reduces pain
Italian psychologists from the University of Milan Bicocca think the increase works as a preparation for the pain and hence people feel it less intensely
In tests they found that people felt less pain when they were focused on a larger picture than when they saw him, as usual. One expert believes that a person's attention is drawn to the place where he expects pain, and it allows you to mentally prepare yourself. In the experiment, the researchers pricked the fingers of patients with the use of lenses and loupes and without these optical instruments. The researchers measured the sweating to explore the level of anxiety, compared the results. It turned out that when participants saw their hand under a magnifying glass during the injection, they felt less pain.
However, Lorimer Moseley, Professor of pain science at the University of South Australia found that increasing hand makes more pain for those who suffer from chronic pain. However, Dr Romano thinks that some people could get a injection or a tattoo less painful if they observed the process much more thoroughly.
