What makes our pain model different? We understand pain using Neuroplastic Theory. Neuroplasticity is the idea that our brains and nervous systems are capable of continuous change throughout our lives.

So if we took a picture of any one of our brains and nervous systems today, it would look a certain way. If we then took up the piano or running until we were good at it and took a picture then, we would find those parts of the brain devoted to piano or running were ‘larger’ and the brain’s capacity to operate the fingers or the leg muscles would be ‘stronger’.

Similarly if we took a picture of your brain before you had pain, it would look a certain way. After experiencing pain for a long time, the parts of the brain responsible for experiencing the pain both in the brain and in the body, would be bigger, more sensitive and more reactive. (Your brain and your body would become 'expert' in pain.)  Conversely if you stopped running or playing the piano, the skill would disappear and the brain would return to it’s prior state. The same would occur with pain. This opens up for us, the possibility of retraining the brain. This is where the Tranceducer ™ fits in.

It is scientifically well established that Virtual Reality (just being in a VR environment) has an analgesic effect. VR technology is currently being used when people are having procedures, giving birth etc. The Tranceducer™ and CognitiVR™ leverage the power of VR to retrain the brain and body.

There is NO current model for the successful treatment of

pain. If the cause of the pain is known, there can be a physical intervention. All other

strategies simply manage pain. Most interventions are invasive (surgery), costly

(ongoing therapy) or transient (drugs) and have limited success. The

Tranceducer™ and CognitivVR™ together offer to solve a problem currently

without solution. Chronic pain of all forms can be resolved or reduced using

this neuroplasticity-based methodology. It is a completely novel and disruptive

approach. It is non-surgical, non-invasive and does not use drugs.
