Pain is an important unwanted sensation. For sure, everyone cannot avoid pain in lifespan. How to manage and decrease pain is the big topic in pain medicine. Several new drugs are fund by medical scientists and applied in pain control. Nevertheless, the classical ancient science concept to manage pain is still the hidden jewel. The use of naturopathy concept in pain management should be mentioned. Using of meditation for relieving of pain is a classical practice in natural medicine. Based on the concept that pain occurs from brain, the use of medication that can affect brain function can be an interesting way for pain management. Zeidan et al. recently reported that “Mindfulness meditation, a practice premised on directing nonjudgmental attention to arising sensory events, reduces  pain  by engaging mechanisms supporting the cognitive control of  pain”. Decreased pain after a short meditation practice has just been reported by Tonelli and Wachholtz. The usefulness of meditation for pain management can be expected. However, Grant noted that the actual “meditative analgesia” required further study on its exact physiological process.

Medicine treats injuries and diseases to support and speed healing. It treats distressing symptoms such as pain to relieve suffering during treatment, healing, and dying. The task of medicine is to relieve suffering under three circumstances. The first is when a painful injury or pathology is resistant to treatment and persists. The second is when pain persists after the injury or pathology has healed. Finally, the third circumstance is when medical science cannot identify the cause of pain. Treatment approaches to chronic pain include pharmacological measures, such as analgesics (pain killer drugs), antidepressants, and anticonvulsants; interventional procedures, physical therapy, physical exercise, application of ice or heat; and psychological measures, such as biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapy.
