- Chronic pain has become a major public health issue, prompting research that primarily examines how care affects pain perception, while studies addressing how emotional factors like anxiety and depression impact pain vigilance are limited.
- A study involving 52 chronic pain patients used a modified dot-probe task and various self-report measures to analyze the relationships between emotional variables, pain ratings, and age on attentional processes.
- Findings indicated that higher pain ratings correlated with more mistakes on attention tests, while older age and cognitive anxiety were associated negatively with attention performance, underscoring the need for deeper investigation into how these factors influence pain perception and attentional processes.
