Action day against pain: ways to less stress on the DKD!

Action day against pain: ways to less stress on the DKD!

Delmenhorst, Deutschland - Next Tuesday, June 3, the Delme Clinic Delmenhorst (DKD) will organize the 14th day of action against pain from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. This important information event takes place in the Blue Salon of the Clinic. The motto is: "Relaxed instead of tense - paths to less stress and pain". The aim of the event is to educate the public about the relationship between stress and pain, since over 12 million people in Germany suffer from chronic pain, including back pain, headache and nerve pain, according to Weser Kurier .

Psychologists Katharina Köpken and Marla Kürten will illuminate the topic of stress and present strategies in their lectures to deal with it. A multimodal team for pain therapy is used in the DKD, which includes occupational therapy, physiotherapy and biofeedback therapy, among other things, to help the patient. Any participation on this day of action is possible without prior registration.

biofeedback as the key to coping with pain

biofeedback plays a central role in the therapy of pain conditions. This method enables patients to make and regulate tension states. During the treatment, electrodes are glued to the part of the pain affected to measure in order to measure physiological signals. These signals are reported to the patient acoustically or visually, which means that they learn to control and change their physical activity. The effectiveness of biofeedback training in pain treatment is well documented. It can help to reduce the sensation of pain by 50-60 %, which is comparable to the results of drug treatments, such as "https://www.dgppsf.de/fuer-patieninnen/schmerzpsychotherapy/schmerz-und-biofeedback"> German Society for Biofeedback

Insights into the functionality of biofeedback show that muscle tension is perceived in back pain and reported back as signals. This helps the patient to learn relaxation techniques and thus reduce muscular arousal. For migraines, the feedback takes place via the electrical activity level of the muscles, which also contributes to pain reduction. The training also includes special techniques, such as vasoconstriction, which has proven to be effective when coping with acute migraine attacks. The vessel width of the temporal artery is determined and trained using infrared measurement.

variety of pain therapy options

On the occasion of the action day, the importance of a healthy diet is also emphasized. A snack buffet is provided to present healthy snacks in stress phases. It is also recommended to integrate endurance sports into reduction in stress into everyday life, since movement plays an important role in physical and mental well -being. In addition to lectures, the event also offers space for practical exercises such as breathing techniques and targeted relaxation phases that should help to reduce stress and thus also alleviate the pain.

The DKD is looking forward to numerous visitors and hopes to be able to make a valuable contribution to clarification and awareness of pain and stress with this action day. Further information on the event can be found here .
