The biological pain therapy
The biological pain therapy is not a single concept but stands for the respective individual catalogue of measures in diagnostics and therapy for the pain patient. The most important principle is to treat the patient with the best possible effect and the minimization of harmful side effects and after-effects.
As already mentioned at a different point, it is necessary and makes sense to give strong analgesics for a short time (!), but in the case of chronic problems one should try to make, apart from the symptomatic pain treatment, a basic treatment which begins at the causes.
EXAMPLE MIGRAINE: nowadays one can even treat acute migraine effectively with modern medicine, but this often leaves a „hangover“ and does not change the cause:
1) At the same time one has to make a neurological examination where apart from common EEG changes one cannot see a lot. With digital EEG examinations however, one can find more differences. Such an EEG or a “brainmap” also shows indications for a treatment (e.g. with neurofeedback). But there is hardly a neurological practice in Germany which has such a device. It is an exception when a university researches these developments in order to promote them. Research money is needed for this purpose which however, is invested where medicine can be sold (Already in the 1970s epilepsy was cured with the neurofeedback system, without medicine! Migraine shows similar changes in the EEG as epilepsy).
2) Patients with migraine often have dysfunctions in the mandibular joint which remain unnoticed and are therefore not treated. These dysfunctions contribute to migraine caused by changes in the weather and consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. Furthermore, problems with the mandibular joint correlate with blocks at the spinal column which, if not treated, lead to malpositions, spinal disc herniations and joint changes at the hips and knee joints. This is therefore a complex problem with complex effects.
3) Also food intolerance and indigestion have an impact on the metabolism and can contribute to constant problems like migraine.
This example can also be applied to other symptoms. One has to create an overall picture as in the case of a mosaic which consists of thousands of pieces. The more pieces, the clearer the picture, the more colours, the more differentiating the causes. The Chinese say that one should not move directly towards the obvious symptoms of a disease and try to eliminate them, but move around the problem und look at it from many angles in order to banish it. This point of view is far away from the dominating principles that require “double-blinded“ analyses in order to do „causal“ medicine. Only one part is true. The blinding is usually meant to generate marketing arguments. But for whom?
