Nyathela kude kwiikhekhe-kukho indlela esempilweni yokunciphisa ukubola kwentliziyo yakho. Ukucamngca ngengqondo kunokunceda ukunciphisa iintlungu ngokweemvakalelo ngaphezu kwe-morphine, utsho isifundo esitsha kwi Ijenali yeNeuroscience.

Yithi whaa? Ewe, uphando oludlulileyo lufumene ukuba ukucamngca kwandisa intlungu yakho ngokunceda ingqondo yakho ilawule ukungahambi kakuhle kunye neemvakalelo. Kodwa ingcali yokuqonda ngengqondo uFadel Zeidan, Ph.D., unjingalwazi oncedisayo kwiziko lezonyango laseWake Forest Baptist, wayefuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba ezi zinto zifunyanisiweyo azingombulelo nje kuphela kwisiphumo se-placebo- okanye ukucinga Ukucamngca kunokukunceda ukunciphisa umsindo wakho.

Ke uZeidan wabeka abantu kwiintsuku ezimbalwa zovavanyo lokuvavanya iintlungu ezahlukeneyo ze-placebo (njengekhrimu engeyiyo kunye nesifundo kwifomu engeyiyo yokucamngca ngengqondo). Abantu ke babene-MRIs kwaye batshiswa ngaxeshanye nge-120-degree thermal probe (musa ukukhathazeka, oko kushushu ngokwaneleyo ukuva intlungu kodwa kungabangela umonakalo omkhulu).

Ngelishwa, abagxeki bakaZeidan babenyanisile: Wonke amaqela abona ukunciphisa iintlungu, kwanabantu abasebenzisa i-placebos. Nangona kunjalo, kwabo babenako ngokwenene ukuqhelisela ukucamngca ngengqondo? Ubunzima beentlungu bancitshiswa ngeepesenti ze-27 kwaye iintlungu zemvakalelo zehla ngepesenti ye-44.

Yiloo nto-ingxaki yeemvakalelo echanekileyo yancitshiswa phantse ngesiqingatha (ngokucamngca nje imizuzu engama-20 iintsuku ezine zilandelelana)! Enyanisweni, ekuphela kwento abantu abayenzayo yayikukuhlala bevale amehlo abo, baphulaphule imiyalelo engqalileyo yendawo abamele banikele ingqalelo kuyo, bavumele iingcinga zabo zidlule ngaphandle komgwebo, baze baphulaphule umoya wabo. Ayivakali nzima. (Ezi ngcebiso zilungile njengokucamngca: Iindlela ezi-3 zokuhlakulela ingqondo ezolileyo.)

Ke yintoni imfihlo? Iskena se-MRI sibonise ukuba abacamngca ngengqondo babenomsebenzi omninzi kwimimandla yobuchopho edityaniswe nengqwalaselo kunye nolawulo lwengqondo-olusebenzisa amandla ngaphezulu kwento oyiqwalaseleyo. Ngapha koko, babenomsebenzi omncinci kwi-thalamus, ubume bengqondo obulawula ukuba zingaphi iintlungu ezingena kwi-noggin yakho.

UZeidan ukhankanye ukuba akazange azibone iziphumo ezinje nakweyiphi na enye indlela yokuphelisa iintlungu-ungatsho nokuntywila kwiintlungu zakho kwitshokholethi kunye nezicubu, sikulungele ukubheja. Vala amehlo akho kwaye uphefumle inzulu-inzululwazi ithi!
