In this powerful episode of Rebooting the Brain, Dr. Sharan Srinivasan is joined by Dr. Sadasivan, a leading pain specialist from Manipal Hospital, to shed light on the often-ignored crisis of chronic pain. The conversation begins with trigeminal neuralgia—one of the most excruciating conditions known, often called the “suicide disease”—and expands into the broader landscape of pain that lingers even after surgeries or standard treatments. Actor Salman Khan’s personal battle with TN is mentioned to highlight just how devastating this condition can be. Dr. Sadasivan shares how his advanced techniques—like radiofrequency ablation and minimally invasive procedures—help patients who are often left without options. He emphasizes the importance of collaborative care with neurosurgeons to manage persistent, post-operative pain effectively. The episode also explores cancer-related pain, musculoskeletal discomfort due to poor posture and ergonomics, and the frequent misdiagnosis of complex pain conditions. His core message: pain may be inevitable, but suffering is optional. Dr. Sharan and Dr. Sadasivan call for greater awareness, better clinical evaluation, and structured pain management to ensure no patient is left behind. A must-watch episode for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike.
