Video: Watching pain reduces it


The instinctive impulse for most people is to look away when something painful is being done to them, such as an injection. But a scientific study has found that looking at your body, where the injection is taking place, actually reduces the level of pain. When scientists magnified the injection site, making it appear larger, the pain was reduced further. So much for "what you can't see can't hurt you."
