    Chronic pain seen altering how brain works - Yahoo! News

    Seeded on Wed Feb 6, 2008 3:34 AM EST (Yahoo! News)

    They said chronic pain seems to alter the way people process information that is unrelated to pain.

    "It seems that enduring pain for a long time affects brain function in response to even minimally demanding attention tasks completely unrelated to pain," the researchers wrote in the Journal of Neuroscience.
