FfFfFfFF 58,111 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 For patients suffering from pain in the emergency room, just 10 minutes with a four-legged friend may help reduce pain, according to a study published Wednesday. The results support what dog lovers everywhere have long suspected -- canine affection cures all ills -- as well as provides a bit of optimism for patients and health care providers frequently grappling with strapped hospital resources in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. "There is research showing that pets are an important part of our health in different ways. They motivate us, they get us up, (give us) routines, the human-animal bond," said lead study author Colleen Dell, the research chair in One Health and Wellness and professor at the University of Saskatchewan. The study has a strong methodology, said Jessica Chubak, senior investigator with the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute. Chubak, who was not involved with the study, noted that there is still a lot to learn about therapy dogs.

Economy 52,844 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I guess it also depends how drawn u are to them When I lived with my parents one of their dogs knew very well when I was either sick or down and came beside me and licked me etc and I dunno that I felt any better physically tbh I found for me they helped with mental pain more than physical pain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
