Got pain? Skip the painkillers!

A professor at Simon Fraser Univiersity, is trying to understand why his experiments consistantly show, people with serious pain, often find more relief in virtual reality, than with drug based treatments.

Experiments consitantly show, that those distracted in a virtual reality, such as 3 dimensional skiing adventure computer game, report less pain that they do when using drugs.

"Controlling pain through VR games and biofeedback meditation therapies has the promise of cost effective alternatives to pain medications.

Maybe it's time to wrestle control of the video games away from the kids, grandma and grandpa need some pain relief. Doesn't this make you think.....everything is possible, if you can have fun doing it (even pain relief)
