Debug Your Pain

by Max Shen

Chronic pain is one of the most widespread forms of human suffering, and one of the least understood. Debug Your Pain starts from a provocative premise: that much of persistent pain is not a faithful report of tissue damage but a prediction the brain has learned to make, and that predictions can be unlearned.

This expedition helps people resolve chronic pain by changing our understanding of what pain actually is. By treating pain as information to be debugged rather than a fixed sentence to be endured, it opens a path toward relief that does not depend on masking symptoms.
