Attentional bias modification for acute experimental pain: A randomized controlled trial of retraining early versus later attention on pain severity, threshold and tolerance

Abstract: Testing of the impact of modifying maintained attentional bias on vulnerability to an acute pain stressor. Findings suggested that retraining rapid attentional bias using short exposure durations conferred greater analgesic benefit, in comparison with both the slower bias and sham-training.

“…Although such training may affect cognitive biases within the trained context 4,5,33,74 , it often proves futile in different contexts. 27,91,but see74 The current model suggests that treatment should (a) target contextual and motivational, including affective, factors that drive cognitive biases; and/or (b) increase flexibility in the way that people attend, interpret, and recall pain-related information.…”

“…Further, if a study included a clinical intervention, only pre-intervention data was used (e.g. Bowler et al, 2017;Sharpe et al, 2012;Todd, Sharpe, & Colagiuri, 2016). Finally, studies were required to investigate attentional biases in relation to pain-related information using the dot-probe task.…”

“…Given the key role of attention bias, attempts have been undertaken to investigate whether pain-related attention biases can be reduced using Attention Bias Modification (ABM) training, and whether ABM training affects pain and/or pain-related outcomes. ABM training typically consists of a computerized training protocol in which participants are trained to attend away from pain-related stimuli and towards neutral stimuli [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 6 ]. As yet, research investigating the effectiveness of ABM is still in its infancy.…”
