Brain-to-brain coupling during handholding is associated with pain reduction

This has certainly been my experience with holding hands of love ones in pain.
I have written about the benifits of touch http://www.pattiwood.net/uploads/The%20touch%20deficit.pdf What is your experience with holding hands?

My article on Yahoo.com

Patti Wood, author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, agrees that Hicks’s hands reveal discomfort. “When we first see Hope standing next to Trump, her hands are in a ‘handcuff’ pose — close together as though she’s being shackled,” Wood tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “It’s not how confident, powerful women hold themselves.”
What’s more, after the pair first shakes hands, Hicks slaps her hand against her upper thigh. “It suggests self-flagellation, a way to rid the tension or say, ‘OK, that’s over,’” says Wood.
Other signs the relationship is complex: At the beginning of the footage, Trump points to Hicks, seemingly to direct attention to her, a move Wood calls a display of dominance. And Hicks’s hair flips,  a flirty, feminine gesture, contrasts with what’s occurring: “The destabilization of an extremely close relationship.”
