We all hear that birth pain is the most painful pain, but a new study denies this.
The study was conducted by American researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston, and published in the headache magazine.
The question of a group of 1604 patients with cluster headache to compare the pain they suffer from with more than 12 injuries and a painful condition, including stabbing wounds and heart attacks, included.
The researchers asked the participants to assess the severity of the pain they felt on a scale from 0 to 10. They were asked to remember the injuries or emergency medical conditions that may have occurred years ago.
According to the study, a condition called “cluster headache” is the most severe pain that a person can feel.
In this case, the patient suffers from severe pain in his head that can last for hours, several times a day, and there is no use in regular pain relievers.
The study found that cluster headache was more painful than labor pain, gunshot wounds and bone fractures.
In the second place, the pain of birth was only 7.2.
In the third place after birth, pancreatitis, a condition in which the pancreas became severely swollen and painful.
Pancreatitis can occur due to stones.
Kidney stones
The kidney stones and gallbladder stones – where small crystal deposits are formed inside the organs and causing burning pain if they grown enough – among the most injured cases.
Unnightly patients who had a plague of the pain experience of 6 on the pain scale were given.
The surgeons previously stated that the pain resulting from the wounds of the bullets is greatly different depending on the place of the shot, as the place of the stomach, back, thigh and neck is especially painful due to the focus of the nerves.
The herniated disc, which is also called disc, was swollen by the soft tissues between the bones of the spine and pressed the nerves, is less painful with a little bit of fiery bullet at 5.9.
The eighth migraine ranked 5.4, followed by fiber muscle pain, a condition that is believed to be linked to a nervous system.
The heart attacks came at only 5, slightly less than the bone fracture, and the same thing for sciatica, where the nerve that extends from below your feet to your back is painted painfully.
This means that both cases were difficult with the stabbing that came only at 4.9, although the pain of such injuries can vary greatly according to the site, such as gunshot wounds.
The cluster headache causes severe, severe, burning or wealthy pain, usually on one side of the head, around the eye.
While birth was classified as severe pain (7.2), it did not occupy the first position. It begins and stops quickly without warning and lasts for up to 3 hours, with seizures several times a day and for weeks or even months at a time.
The pain is so severe that the pain relievers that do not require a prescription such as paracetamol and ibuprofen are virtually useless.
Experts do not know what causes cluster headaches, but it is known that it is diagnosed more common among people in the thirties and is about 6 times more common in men than women.
On the other end of the pain scale, arthritis was a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. This condition has been recorded 4, which doctors so far consider more severe than light pain.
Next the degree of pain of each case according to the study:
- A cluster headache seizure: 9.7
- Birth: 7.2
- Pancreatitis: 7.0
- Kidney stones: 6.9
- Gall Stones: 6.3
- A gunshot wound: 6.0
- Disclitric disk slide: 5.9
- Board headache: 5.4
- Fibious muscle pain: 5.2
- Bone break: 5.2
- Cardiological Nubia: 5.0
- Sciatica: 5.0
- A wound resulting from a knife stab: 4.9
- Jerusalem: 4.6
- Cotton pasture: 4.6 (In the cotton pelignant technique, the healthcare provider inserts a hollow needle in the area surrounding the spine (under the spider space) in the lower back to withdraw some CSF and examine or injection of the drug).
- Biopsy of a large member like the liver: 4.4
- Arthritis: 4.0
