A UNSW and NeuRA study has found that improving emotional processing can significantly reduce chronic pain. The trial, led by Professor Sylvia Gustin and Dr Nell Norman-Nott, introduced a new eHealth therapy called Pain and Emotion Therapy. Delivered online to 89 participants, it helped reduce pain intensity by 10 points on a 100-point scale. The eight-session program teaches emotional regulation, with results showing lasting benefits. Researchers say this approach may revolutionise chronic pain treatment by targeting emotional health.
