    Dr. Hansma: The Longer You've Had Chronic Symptoms, The Easier You CAN Recover

    Send a text In this video, Dr. Paul Hansma, Professor at UC Santa Barbara (The UCSB Physics Hansma Research Lab), shares why longer symptom duration can actually make recovery easier, and what the science reveals about the most effective ways to shift those patterns. CONNECT WITH DR. PAUL HANSMA 🌐 The UCSB Physics Hansma Research Lab - https://hansmalab.physics.ucsb.edu 🎥 Dr Hansma's YouTube (managed by his lab) - https://www.youtube.com/@ChronicPainScience  📚 STUDIES MENTIONED 1. The Apkaring reference is a landmark study showing, with fMRI, how the development of chronic pain involves shifts in brain activity to include more emotional centers - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dexmheq-KAQQ5XywxNeFq1ENC7NR4uKm/view?usp=sharing 2. The JAMA psychiatry study, also known as the"Boulder Study" is a ground breaking study with two controls and fMRI imaging of changes associated with recovery. 66% of the people in the arm of the study that got Pain Reprocessing Therapy were pain-free or nearly pain-free (pain 0 or 1 on a 0 to 10 scale) by the end of the one month study. PRT focuses, as you know, on decreasing the fear associated with sensation - https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zdtRQ0T0KOAn5roHgnLsWQWTCgn7mb2/view?usp=sharing 3.
