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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Because of its unique evolutionary relevance, it is understood that pain automatically attracts
attention. So far, such attentional bias has mainly been shown for pain-related stimuli …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Threat is hypothesized to affect the degree to which pain captures attention but
little is known about its impact on dynamic courses of attention towards pain. In this eye …
