For A World Without Pain Medication
At Pain-Changer, we aspire to a world where individuals with chronic pain are no longer reliant on painkillers. Together with you, we aim to take the first step towards this goal. Our objective is to empower patients to experience their influence on the effectiveness of pain medication and, consequently, on the perception of pain. These changes help individuals with persistent pain regain trust in the body's natural ability to alleviate pain.
Untapped potential
Scientists refer to the untapped potential of pain medication as missing out on a dose of morphine.
Negative Routine
This is partially because taking pain medication has become an everyday, often negative, action for many.
Contextual Healing
We address this issue with our Contextual Healing method. Through this approach, we work on optimizing your medication ritual.
Enhanced Medication Efficacy
These changes result in a stronger impact of your medication, meaning less pain with the same dosage.
We assist everyone taking pain medication for (persistent) pain.
Pain-Changer is ready to assist individuals dealing with various forms of persistent pain, including back pain, neck pain, knee pain, as well as migraine, fibromyalgia, RSI, and other forms of chronic pain.
​
Our Contextual Healing approach focuses on the human aspect of pain and pain medication. This means that we are here to support everyone, regardless of their background, the type of pain medication they use, and the pain they are experiencing.
Contextual Healing
We work on optimizing your medication ritual through the Contextual Healing method. Here, we enhance your thoughts, emotions, associations, and behaviors related to your medication intake. We even influence your biology by reprogramming your brain and stimulating the production of natural painkillers (endorphins).
​
These changes result in a stronger effect of your medication, empowering you to regain control and learn to trust your body's natural ability to alleviate pain.

Expectations (Contextual Healing) Enhance the Effectiveness of Migraine Pills
The effectiveness of migraine pills strongly depends on the patient's expectations, according to research published in Science Translational Medicine. The placebo effect also enhances the efficacy of active medications.
​
When a doctor predicts that a pill will work, the pain relief is twice as great as when the pill is said not to work. The best results are achieved when the patient does not know if the pill will work.
In a study involving 66 patients, the migraine pill consistently outperformed the placebo pill, but pain relief was halved when patients believed they were taking a placebo.

Our Medication Assistance Offering
At Pain-Changer, our medication assistance is often the first step towards lasting change. We begin where control has been relinquished the most: pain medication. Through education, brain exercises, and behavioral psychological insights, we guide our clients to independently derive more effectiveness from their pain medication. This process helps them regain trust in their body's ability to alleviate pain, ultimately reclaiming control.

Pain Clinics
In our pain clinic, we treated a patient who was becoming increasingly dependent on pain medication without achieving the desired results. As an additional step in our treatment, we opted for Medication Coaching with Pain-Changer. Since then, the individual has gained more control over pain and has become less reliant on medication.

Addiction treatment centers
In our addiction treatment center, as part of the treatment protocol, we refer patients to Pain-Changer's Medication Groups. Through these on-site group sessions led by a representative from Pain-Changer, individuals learn how to exert influence on the effectiveness of pain medication. This approach helps them build trust in their body's natural ability for pain relief, leading to a reduced need for pain medication.
