Cross Hands to Reduce Pain

When painful or sore hands, try to put hand in front of your chest. According to the study, it can reduce the pain you feel. The movement was able to shift the focus of the brain in pain.
The brain's left hand rule to perform the task on the left hand and right-hand rule to do the job right hand. With crossed, the brain will momentarily feel 'confused' and make the focus on the pain decreases.
"When pain appears, try crossing her hands," said chief researcher, Dr. Giandomenico Iannetti, from University College London, as quoted by the Telegraph.
In his research, the team uses a laser to produce four milliseconds puncture needle that creates a feeling of pure pain in the hand. The pain continued to feel even untouched. The team involves a small group of eight respondents.
After receiving the stimulus that triggers pain in the hand, the team asked all respondents repeatedly crossed his arms.
Hands placed on the midline chest, which is an imaginary vertical line in the middle of the body. Participants were asked to rate pain intensity. Electrical responses in their brains were also measured by using electroencephalography (EEG).
The pain rated from 0 to 100, with 100 to the pain that most might imagine. Results from both participants and EEG reports showed that the weaker the perception of pain when the arm is crossed.
The effect is small but significant according to the study. Equivalent to about three percent reduction in pain. Iannetti doctorate believe that this effect is caused by the brain being 'confused'.
"In everyday life you mostly use your left hand to touch things on the left side and right hand to right side, for example when taking a glass of water on the right side you generally use the right hand," he said.
With crossed arms, you cause a mismatch and this makes the processing of pain is more difficult. This also works for other stimuli, with reduced brain sensitivity.
"The effect is not as analgesics, but we are testing in people who experience chronic pain in their hands," said Dr.. Iannetti.
Despite the significant impact to reduce pain in hand, this research should be developed to look at its impact in reducing pain in other body parts.
