Norwegian scientists have shown that coffee acts as a pain reliever and can reduce the sensation of physical pain . In an experiment with fifty volunteers who performed tasks in front of the computer similar to those involved in working in an office, they gave some of them to drink coffee, while others did not drink any liquids. Those who drank the drink experienced 14% less pain in their shoulders and neck .
Although the study, published in BMC Research Notes , is not conclusive regarding the doses of this drink that are analgesic, everything indicates that, in addition to other benefits already proven – weight loss, prevention of Alzheimer's or muscle growth-, the coffee effectively relieves pain.
