Abstract
Characteristics of noxious stimuli and personal attributes shape our experience of pain, but only few studies have rigorously tried to characterize which specific traits impact pain processing. We will discuss the recent article by Firouzian et al. that tries to identify the impact of both positively and negatively regarded personal traits on conditioned pain modulation (CPM): resilience and catastrophization. The authors showed sex-dependent correlation of CPM varying with personal traits as well as characteristics of the conditioning stimulus: unpleasantness and salience.
期刊介绍:
Douleur et Analgésie, première revue internationale francophone consacrée à la douleur, a été créée en 1988. De par la qualité scientifique et l’indépendance de ses publications, ce trimestriel a reçu d’emblée un accueil favorable auprès des chercheurs et cliniciens spécialisés dans le domaine. Á l’occasion de la reprise de la revue en 2006 par les Éditions Springer, le comité éditorial a souhaité s’ouvrir davantage à la francophonie, y compris nord américaine, pour mieux partager les connaissances et renforcer la valeur scientifique de la revue.
