观察自然场景会减少疼痛感知 和研究发现的止痛药一样多 Viewing nature scenes reduces pain perception nearly as much as painkillers, study finds.

埃克塞特大学和维也纳大学的一项新研究表明,观看自然场景可以减少疼痛感知,对经历轻微电击的参与者进行脑扫描时就观察到了这一点。 A new study from the universities of Exeter and Vienna shows that viewing nature scenes can reduce pain perception, as observed in brain scans of participants experiencing mild electric shocks. 参与者报告说,与城市或办公室场景相比,在观看自然视频时疼痛较少。 Participants reported less pain when watching nature videos compared to city or office scenes. 虽然止痛效果大约是止痛药的一半,但调查结果表明,体验大自然可以作为治疗疼痛的一种替代方法。 While the pain-relieving effect was about half that of painkillers, the findings suggest that experiencing nature could be an alternative method for managing pain. 研究人员希望这会导致新的非药物止痛疗法。 Researchers hope this could lead to new non-drug treatments for pain.
