Getting a flu shot? Universite de Montreal scientists have found that focusing on a pleasant image could alleviate the sting. "Emotion can alter how we react to pain, since they're interlinked," says Mathieu Roy, lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Using pleasant, unpleasant or neutral images to elicit emotions and electric shocks for pain, scientists monitored the subjects' brain reactions and found
the pain was worse when paired with negative emotions. This is evidence that pain is governed by mood, say researchers.

"These interventions would be inexpensive and adaptable to several fields," he stresses.
