Scientists find that tricking the brain with a rubber hand can reduce pain perception.
Researchers in Germany found that the rubber hand illusion, where participants feel a rubber hand as their own, can reduce perceived pain intensity.
When a participant's real hand is hidden and a rubber hand is shown being touched or heated, the brain integrates visual and sensory inputs, lowering pain perception.
This technique could potentially aid in pain management for conditions like chronic pain and complex regional pain syndrome.
