Effect of Pain Reprocessing Therapy vs Placebo and Usual Care for Patients With Chronic Back Pain an RCT, 2021, Asher, Gordon et al

Those circuits cannot cause pain on their own and while behavioural responses can potentially be modified, the attentional and emotional responses are much more hard-wired than some medical practitioners or psychologists suggest.

Actually there are people who don't feel any pain at all. Some genetic profile. I guess we just need to think our genes to change, or something like it. It would be interesting to compare them, see how they likely have the same typical 'wiring' of pain centers.

It's really telling how this hasn't really affected "The Neuroscience", considering how it offers this perfect opportunity to understand this better. But it would be quite silly to risk killing the golden goose, so I guess they won't be trying that.

In Norway this study has been thrown around as validation for PRT by Silje Endresen Reme and Andreas Pahle in an article in Aftenposten from 25th of August this year. Reme and Pahle use PRT on patients with long term pain in a project at Ullevål Hospital in Oslo, Norway.

Completely accidentially Reme and Pahle has partnered up with ex-comedian and TV-personality Harald Eia for a lot of free promotion via a tv-documentary on VG-TV called "Harald og sytepavene" (the series itself is behind paywall), featuring this project. As a consequence VG has posted multiple articles with Harald Eia over the last days, here is one, and snippets from the documentary on their front page.

Probably just as accidentially, this all comes not long after the results of the Decode ME-study, which was mentioned in VG, - but of course behind a paywall.

For those who are curious the links added here are google translated into English.

For context, «sytepave» roughly translates to «whiner». So the title is «Harald and the whiners».

Harald Eia has a logn track record of being very insulting against pwME/CFS and female illnesses in general. He’s essentially a propaganda tool for Reme, Landmark etc.
