A further insight about pain is the hysteresis (stuckness) that our nervous system can get stuck in a loop that can be disrupted

I asked DeepSeek about references, but can confirm that all the urls below are valid

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): Alters aberrant neural signaling in real-time, with high-frequency SCS showing randomized trial effectiveness

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) resets cortical regions to reset maladaptive plasticity (Lefaucheur '20 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31901449/

Motor Imagery Therapy can rewire sensorimotor cortex activity, effective in complex regional pain syndrome (Moseley '04 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030439590400020X

Post-treatment fMRI studies show normalization of brain activity in pain-related regions after successful interventions (Seminowicz '11
