Life with No Pain: Congenital Insensitivity to Pain

Аңдатпа

Pain is mostly associated with unpleasant feelings and is largely despised and feared due  to the emotional distress of sensations. However, without pain, humans wouldn’t be able  to separate harmful actions from non-harmful ones and wouldn’t let their bodies heal. The  sensation of pain is very crucial to the human body as it acts as a defense mechanism by  alerting the body of on-going damage to the tissue or potential damage. The importance of  pain is even more obvious when diagnosing patients with congenital insensitivity to pain,  as their life is filled with terror of being hurt but being unable to detect it, which could  ultimately lead to their death. This article dives into this disorder and how it can affect the  normal daily lives of human beings, further revealing the vital importance of pain.
