Is Chronic Pain a Symptom or a Disease?
Watch this video to learn what is chronic pain.
In this video, I explain that nociplastic is a type of chornic pain where there is a malfunctioning in the pain system. Think like the pain system is the alarm system of the house, there are sensors installed on the house for burglar, water leak in the basement, smoke detectors. Sensors are isntalled in our body for pain mainly in the skin, but also in the bones, internal organs, and muscles. They send information to the spinal cord and then to the brain. Like the central alarm system office, they send the ambulance, police or firetruck to the house to see what is happening, the brain has to send information to the periphery to tell what to do.
Now imagine that the alarm system of a house is malfunctioning, like there are short circuits, or the volume is turned up. The same can happen in the body. If the pain system is malfunctioning.
