The impact of cardiac feedback on human cognition
… One, electrocutaneous stimuli (ranging from non-painful to very painful) were randomly delivered across the cardiac cycle. Pain ratings were highest at R+300 ms, whereas nociceptive reflex responses did not vary. Study Two followed up these findings by presenting the stimuli in blocks of either …

Effects of Music on the Pain Response in the Central Nervous System Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The oldest procedure for pain relief has been music. There is abundant behavioural evidence to support music’s pain relieving properties, however, studies to date have yet to investigate music-induced analgesia via imaging. Our first imaging study used thermal stimulation just below pain threshold …

The Psychology of Anxiety & Pain in Fibromyalgia
Understanding pain is integral to understanding fibromyalgia, a chronic musculoskeletal pain condition of undetermined aetiology, and for which no single successful medical therapy exists. Most of what is known about fibromyalgia pain comes from psychophysical research of central sensitisation, a …

An empirical evaluation of the latent structure of cognitive analgesia strategies
… for analgesia were assessed using a cold pressor pain task with 96 subjects. Subjects rated pain during baseline and post-treatment exposures to the ice water pain stimulus. Between trials, subjects in four groups were trained in the use of a cognitive coping strategy. Training consisted of brief …
