The article presents the results of the visual sensation colors parameters investigation in patients with chronic pain
of different origin during Empatho-technique sessions. There were studied visual sensations which did and didn’t appear
in response to pain in trigger points. The impact of Empatho-technique is aimed at enhancing the antinociceptive system
activity and deactivation of the excitation focus in the brain which results in the chronic pain intensity decrease. It
was found out that the visual sensations of the long wave color of chromatic spectrum and dark grey colors (“grey”
scale) appeared in response to poststimulus pain. The pain absence revealed itself in the medium and short-wave colors
of the chromatic spectrum and light-grey colors. The reduction of chronic pain intensity, change of the visual sensation
parameters and their approximation to the parameters of the control group provide grounds to assume that visual
sensation color can correlate with the CNS functional state and can serve as a sign of the nociceptive and
antinociceptive systems activity. On top of that, the Empatho-technique usage allows not only to eliminate the pain
sensations but also to foster researches of pain and visual modalities interaction mechanisms. In accordance to received
results there can presume the participation of the color-sensitivity cells in the appearing of the visual sensations of
the different color. In accordance to received results there can presume the participation of the color-sensitivity
cells in the appearing of the visual sensations of the different colors.
Key words:
Empatho-technique, chronic pain of the psychogenic, somatogenic and neurogenic origin, color opponent systems,
antinociceptive system, excitation focus, color of visual sensation
