As per the question, the recent research studies have revealed that the students had been less likely to experience pain when 'they are viewing a photo of their loved one.' Lately, the scientists have discovered that 'snaps of our loved ones lessen the pain up to 44% and soothes people' as the photo offers them a kind of reward intrinsically that dulls the pain-processing in their brain which is almost similar to the level of relief that a normal paracetamol offers.
