How To Treat & Manage Congenital Insensitivity To Pain (CIPA)
October 16, 2018
Congenital insensitivity to pain is an extremely rare disorder. Also called congenital analgesia, this is a condition where people are born without the ability to feel any sort of pain even though their senses are not otherwise impaired. It might sound useful to be able to retain your ability to feel everything besides uncomfortable sensations. However, it can cause a lot of problems because a person can get injured without noticing that anything is wrong. Unfortunately, there is no way to cure this condition and restore a person's ability to feel pain. Treatment for congenital insensitivity to pain relies on lifestyle changes to ensure that a person does not accidentally get hurt without realizing it.
