And Now for some news ….
Exercise Therapy for Chronic Pain – Limbic Brain Function
A recent study published in the journal Neurobiology of Pain, looked at the relationship of Exercise for Chronic Pain.
According to the Authors, we are exposed to various external and internal threats which might hurt us.
The role of taking flexible and appropriate actions against threats is played by “the limbic system” and at the heart of it there is the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens (brain reward system).
Pain-related fear causes excessive excitation of amygdala, which in turn causes the suppression of medial prefrontal cortex, leading to chronification of pain.
Since the limbic system of chronic pain patients is functionally impaired, they are maladaptive to their situations, unable to take goal-directed behavior and are easily caught by fear-avoidance thinking.
Based on the recent findings on multiple brain networks, the authors propose a well-balanced exercise prescription considering the adherence and pacing of exercise practice.
The authors conclude that therapies targeting the mesocortico- limbic system, such as exercise therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, may become promising tools in the fight against chronic pain.
