Study Reveals 5 The Most Painful Conditions In Humans
JAKARTA - Pain is an experience that everyone must have experienced. However, there are several injuries and medical conditions whose pain goes far beyond the usual discomfort that feels almost unbearable.
Doctors usually use the scale of pain to measure their severity. But for people who have experienced kidney stones, third degree burns or trigeminal neuralgia, the numbers on that scale don't adequately describe the intensity.
Pain not only arises at the time of injury, but can stay in the long term. A study published in JAMA Surgery found 62.7 percent of large trauma patients still feel pain for up to one year after injuries, especially in the back, joints, and limbs.
These findings show pain is not only a physical problem for a moment, but also affects the recovery process, mood, and quality of life. Wounds can indeed heal, but the pain that is left behind often lasts longer.
Berdasarkan berbagai penelitian dan pengalaman medis, berikut adalah beberapa kondisi yang disebut-sebut paling menyakit bagi manusia, seperti dilansir dari laman Times of India.
1. Burns Derajat Tiga Luka
Heavy burns destroy the skin layer and expose the nerves below it. Pain lasts for weeks and is exacerbated by medical procedures such as changing bandages and grafting the skin.
2. Kidney Stone
Skipping kidney stones through the urinary tract is known as one of the worst pain. Many patients describe it as sharper and more tiring than pain when giving birth.
3. Trigeminal Neuralgia
This neurological disorder is often dubbed the 'suicide disease', because of its extreme intensity of pain. Patients feel pain like they are electrocuted in the face. This can be triggered by light things such as touch or gusts of cool wind.
4. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
This rare condition usually arises after minor injuries or surgery. The affected body parts become very sensitive, swollen, and feel intense pain, much more severe than the initial injury.

5. Severe Bone Break
The pluralistic fraction is the condition of the bone penetrating the skin, causing tremendous pain. Both when an injury occurs and throughout the healing process, the patient must face severe discomfort.
