Meditation is one such technique. Meditation produces powerful pain-relieving effects in the brain, according to new research published the Journal of Neuroscience.

"This is the first study to show that only a little over an hour of meditation training can dramatically reduce both the experience of pain and pain-related brain activation," comments study co-author Fadel Zeidan, PhD.

"We found a big effect – about a 40 percent reduction in pain intensity and a 57 percent reduction in pain unpleasantness. Meditation produced a greater reduction in pain than even morphine or other pain-relieving drugs, which typically reduce pain ratings by about 25 percent."

At the same time, meditation significantly reduced brain activity in areas of the brain area crucially involved in creating the feeling of pain.

It also increased activity in areas of the brain that block pain.
