World of Pain: Coping and Caring

This program mixes dramatizations from a painful day in the life of a hypothetical family with real-life case studies to better understand the dynamics of pain caused by a wide range of injuries and conditions: headaches, backaches, burns, abrasions, broken bones, sports injuries, and rheumatoid arthritis. Sophisticated 3-D computer animations illustrate how the body processes pain, while pain specialists provide information on pharmaceutical and non-drug approaches to pain management involving anesthesia and analgesics, distraction and reframing, acupuncture, and self-hypnosis. A Discovery Channel Production. (49 minutes)
