12 Tips for Coping Chronic Pain

Track Your Pain Level and Activities Every Day, and Learn Biofeedback to Decrease Migraine and Tension Headache Pain.

If you want to effectively manage your pain, your doctor needs to know how you’re feeling. It would help to keep a log or journal to monitor your pain. After every day, you can rank your pain level on the 1 to 10 pain scale. You can also get a note to record all your activities for the day. Take the record book everywhere you go.

With biofeedback, you can easily control certain parts of your body. Various studies show that biofeedback helps consciously control body functions and it is not hard to learn. You will wear sensors that allow you to hear or see certain functions such as body temperature, muscle tension, and pulse digestion. The squiggly lines and beeps that are on the attached monitors show what is going on in your body. Then you learn to manage those squiggles and beeps. After some sessions, your mind will become actively trained to control your biological system.
