The next time you have to pull a Band-Aid off – should you watch?
If you need to endure some pain – go ahead and watch. Pulling a bandage off or getting a shot will hurt less if you look at the spot that’s about to hurt. Volunteers in an Italian study felt less discomfort when heat was applied to their feet if they watched. That’s because our vision helps triggers a signal to our brain that helps it anticipate pain and kick in some dulling action.
