Cognitive and emotional control of pain and its disruption in chronic pain

TL;DR: The accumulating evidence that chronic pain itself alters brain circuitry, including that involved in endogenous pain control, is examined, suggesting that controlling pain becomes increasingly difficult as pain becomes chronic.

Psychological processing in chronic pain: a neural systems approach.

TL;DR: This review evaluates some of the principle processes that may be altered as a consequence of chronic pain in the context of localized and integrated neural networks and links altered psychological processes to specific evidence-based treatments to put forth a model of pain neuroscience psychology.

Attentional bias to pain-related information: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: This meta‐analysis investigated whether attentional bias, that is, the preferential allocation of attention to information that is related to pain, is a ubiquitous phenomenon, and indicated that individuals who experience chronic pain display an attentional biased towards pain‐related words or pictures.

The processing-speed theory of adult age differences in cognition.

TL;DR: A theory is proposed that increased age in adulthood is associated with a decrease in the speed with which many processing operations can be executed and that this reduction in speed leads to impairments in cognitive functioning because of what are termed the limited time mechanism and the simultaneity mechanism.

Survey of chronic pain in Europe: prevalence, impact on daily life, and treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale computer-assisted telephone survey was conducted to explore the prevalence, severity, treatment and impact of chronic pain in 15 European countries and Israel and found that chronic pain is a major health care problem in Europe that needs to be taken more seriously.

Anxiety and cognitive performance: Attentional control theory.

TL;DR: Attentional control theory is an approach to anxiety and cognition representing a major development of Eysenck and Calvo's (1992) processing efficiency theory and may not impair performance effectiveness when it leads to the use of compensatory strategies (e.g., enhanced effort; increased use of processing resources).
