Question: Is your aim to eliminate all pain that people feel or just to stop the extreme and irritable pains?

Pain is an important and vital part of life – your body needs pain as much as it needs other sensations. Without pain, our bodies wouldn’t be able to tell us to stop and without that we could very seriously injure ourselves without even realizing it!

Unfortunately for some people, there is no cause to their pain – their bodies are telling them that something is wrong when everything is actually okay. When that happens, it can be very hard for those people to do even the smallest things without feeling immense pain. Most of the time, this pain comes from the neurons in the brain or spinal cord, which is why I’m focusing on those areas. If pain can be lessened with electrical stimulation, then the lives of those people with abnormal pain can be greatly improved!
