Patient was instructed regarding pain migration technique for pain management as follows:

  1. Pain migration is a technique of pain management, in which you train the mind to move the pain, from the site of pain to a non-painful site of your body.
  2. Mentally moving the pain from the source to a non-painful body site, helps relatively easier coping with pain.
  3. After you gain control with the technique of pain migration, try migrating pain in the non-painful body site, out of your body and into the environment around.
  4. This stepwise mindful migration of pain and discomfort from the source of pain into outside environment helps associating your mind with diminished pain intensity.
  5. Removing the annoying sensation of pain and associated discomfort out of your body offers relaxation with diminished pain intensity and helps with pain management.
