Heightened fear of pain is related to biases in initial orienting, but not maintenance, of visual
attention based on eye-movement tracking and reaction time indices. This research …

In this study, effects of chronic pain and pain-related fear on orienting and maintenance of
attention toward pain stimuli were evaluated by tracking eye movements within a dot-probe …

In this research, we examined effects of higher versus lower threat contexts on attention
biases in more and less pain-fearful chronic pain subgroups via eye-tracking methodology …

Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of fear of pain (FOP) and threat on
attentional biases, using eye‐tracking methods. Method One hundred and seven …

The purpose of this investigation was to clarify mixed findings reported in selective attention
investigations. To accomplish this, recently published dot-probe data from 36 patients with …

The present study used eye-tracking technology to assess whether individuals who report
chronic pain direct more attention to sensory pain-related words than do pain-free …

Attentional biases to painful stimuli are evident in individuals with chronic pain, although the
directional tendency of these biases (ie, toward or away from threat-related stimuli) remains …

Previous research has demonstrated that chronic pain is associated with biased processing
of pain-related information. Most studies have examined this bias by measuring response …

Previous meta-analyses investigating attentional biases towards pain have used reaction
time measures. Eye-tracking methods have been adopted to more directly and reliably …

Biases in the way that people direct their attention towards or away from pain-related
information are hypothesised to contribute to the onset and severity of pain-related …
