Ten years after her husband's catastrophic injury, author Kara Stanley embarks with him on a journey to understand his chronic pain and find pathways into joy and relief.

Kara and her husband, Simon, are at a desperate crossroads. In 2008, Simon fell off a scaffold, causing severe injuries to his brain and spinal cord. He made a remarkable recovery, eventually adjusting to life in a wheelchair and returning to his career as a musician, but he continues to suffer from debilitating pain that is beginning to strip away his selfhood.

On the ten-year anniversary of the accident, Kara and Simon decide to confront Simon's pain head-on by committing to a personal experiment. For one year, they will focus on researching, interviewing experts, and exploring both new, and age old, pain relief strategies. A decade ago, Simon was prescribed the pain-relieving drug hydromorphone. Can he discover an alternate therapeutic approach that is at least as effective as daily doses of opioids?

As they navigate a difficult year, Kara's tenacity and Simon's wit shine through in their honest conversations, insightful journal entries, and affectionate banter. Throughout, they seek answers to profound questions about the nature of suffering and pain • Is it helpful to conceptualize pain as a disease, or not? • What does it mean to understand that pain is always a creation of the brain? • What is the difference between healing and curing? Is healing still possible even when all-better is not an option?

Globally, at least one in five people suffer from chronic pain, placing an enormous burden on medical systems around the world. Not just a medical but also a social justice issue, chronic pain continues to be poorly understood and poorly treated. It is a challenging topic to discuss with friends and family because, as Simon says, no one really wants to lead with their cloud. Deciding to accept this challenge, Simon and Kara's experiment is a wide-ranging exploration of the definitions, treatments, science, myths, and meanings of the mysterious and multi-faceted force that is pain.

As difficult as the topic is, it can also provide us with an opportunity to question our current course. What can we learn when we confront our pain head-on? Honest, deeply researched, insightful, and ultimately hopeful, The Pain Project is a must-read for anyone looking for a greater understanding of pain as a phenomenon and in their own lives.

十年后，作者卡拉·斯坦纳尔与丈夫西蒙踏上了一段旅程，旨在理解他的慢性疼痛，并找到通往快乐和解脱的道路。 2008年，西蒙在脚手架上跌落，导致严重的脑部和脊椎损伤。他奇迹般地恢复了健康，最终适应了轮椅生活并重返音乐生涯，但持续的剧痛正在逐渐剥夺他的自我意识。 在事故十周年纪念日那天，卡拉与西蒙决定直面西蒙的疼痛，通过一项个人实验来研究它。他们将投入一年的时间专注于研究、采访专家以及探索新的和古老的各种止疼策略。十年前，西蒙被开了缓解疼痛的药物羟吗啡酮。他能否发现一个至少具有同等疗效的替代治疗方案？ 在艰难的一年里，卡拉的韧性和西蒙的机智通过他们的坦诚对话、富有洞察力的日记条目以及温馨的调侃得以展现。他们始终寻找关于痛苦和疼痛的本质问题的答案： - 疼痛应该被看作是一种疾病吗？ - 痛苦本质上是大脑的创造吗？ - 什么是治愈与康复的区别？即使完全恢复不再可能，康复是否仍然有可能？ 全球范围内，至少每五个人中就有一个人遭受慢性疼痛，这给全世界医疗系统带来了巨大的负担。不仅是医学问题，也是社会正义问题，慢性疼痛一直未能得到充分的理解和治疗。讨论这个问题很困难，因为正如西蒙所说，没有人愿意首先谈论他们的乌云。决定接受这个挑战，卡拉与西蒙的实验是一场广泛的探讨：什么是疼痛的定义、治疗方法、科学、神话以及意义。 尽管话题极具挑战性，但它也为我们提供了一个机会去质疑当前的方向。当我们直面自己的痛苦时，我们可以学到什么？这本书是《疼痛项目》不仅为那些寻求对疼痛现象和自身生活更深理解的人必读之作。
