Nature exposure induces analgesic effects by acting on nociception-related neural processing - In a new study, researchers has shown that experiencing nature can alleviate acute physical pain and suggest that nature-based therapies can be used as promising complementary approaches to pain management

Virtual nature exposure reduces self-reported pain and is associated with decreased brain responses linked to somatosensory and nociceptive processing, providing new insights into the underlying mechanisms of nature-induced analgesia.
