- Is Chronic Pain Hereditary?

A new study in the research journal Journal of the International Association of the Study of Pain has shown interesting results around this issue. The study showed that there are primarily 5 factors that make both hereditary genetics and variable epigenetics play a greater role in whether people inherit pain from their parents.

Chronic pain is discomfort, ailments and aches that do not go over and persist. Often, chronic pain is linked to the consept of rheumatism, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune diseases, but often it can also be extensive myalgias and underlying joint dysfunction - often due to overweight, low activity and energy.

- The study showed that 5 factors determined whether the child inherited pain

The study showed that it was primarily these factors that recorded:

1. Genetics: The study estimates that half of the cases where people inherit chronic pain are genetically determined - ie that it is passed on from the parents' DNA to the child.
2. Foster Development: Having a mother with chronic pain can already begin to shape the child's neurobiological development within the stomach. This is due to higher stress levels and choices that the mother makes before and after birth.
3. Social pain learning: Children learn from an early age that pain is something that characterizes everyday life, and will also respond to pain behaviors such as exaggeration, catastrophizing, turmoil and complaining.
4. child rearing: Lack of care, affection and generally poor presence for the child can lead to the child having a higher chance of developing chronic pain.
5. Stressful upbringing: Growing up in a home with someone suffering from chronic pain can be very stressful. This may also be related to the fact that the person suffering from chronic pain has poor financial advice and is unable to take care of himself properly.

- Chronic pain is hereditary, but only to a certain extent

The study further showed that part of chronic pain is hereditary, but that other factors - epigenetics - play a major role in the degree to which the child 'inherits' the chronic pain from his parents. If you have a crisis-maximizing parent with chronic pain who also does not give the child enough attention and care - then the child is in a high-risk group for getting chronic pain.

Conclusion:

Exciting research! Here, therefore, a high focus should be on prevention and that parents with chronic pain aim to reduce these risk factors around their child - this can help to reduce the risk of the child getting the same chronic pain. Of course, it can be very demanding when you are suffering from chronic pain, but in light of this information, you should consciously go in to do this - for the benefit of the child.
