The Spanish researchers were testing their theory that the pain of CTS is caused in part by sensitization of the central nervous system, or changes to the brain and spinal cord that can make people hypersensitive to pain. So in their study, they used a more unusual type of therapy, desensitization maneuvers, in which they manipulated soft tissue in the arms and hands to help “untrap” the median nerve.

These are a staggeringly high numbers and lead to the question about how people cope with pain?

Together we can build a program to teach patients how to manage pain while at the same time integrating activity successfully under controlled circumstances with manageable pain. Then as they start to achieve success, their brain-body begins to reset their pain system to a lower level helping the patient to feel they can be more active.

Researchers from Texas Tech University used pro football player Johnny Manziel to highlight just what the magnitude of social media can do. Researchers tracked tweets regarding Manziel for the 2-week period during which his NCAA violation came to light. His violation was discussed on social media by over 90,000 individuals in just that 2-week timeframe.

A study done in 2014 by Chris Symeon from CKSyme Media Group measured social media use for Division I and Division II NACAA athletes. On average, only 26% of these athletes has protected Twitter accounts, around 61.5% did not know all of their followers, and 14% had been a victim of online harassment such as unsolicited inappropriate material, account impersonation, angry fans messaging, or cyberbullying.
