Just before the holidays, Kenneth Casey's young grand-daughter accidentally slammed the tip of her finger in a car door. Not surprisingly, she reacted quite strongly. Casey, a long-time pain researcher at the University of Michigan, had a look and saw there was little damage; he repeatedly reassured her that though it would hurt, she'd be OK. Very soon she calmed down. "It was amazing," says Casey of the change in her mood.
