---|---|---|---|---|---|
Study1 | Arm | 44.3, 45.3, 46.3, 47.3, 48.3, 49.3 | 12.5 | 97 | Cognitive self-regulation intervention to increase or decrease pain |
Study2 | Arm, Foot | 46, 47, 48 | 11 | 81 | Combination of painful stimuli with heat-predictive visual cues for low, medium, and high pain |
Study3 | Arm | 47, 48, 49 | 8 and 11 | 36 | Heat stimuli were intermixed with physically and emotionally aversive sound stimuli |
Study4 | Arm | 41.1 - 47.1 | 10 | 64 | Combination of painful stimuli with heat-predictive auditory cues |
Study5 | Arm | 46, 47, 48 | 11 | 48 | Combination of painful stimuli with heat-predictive visual cues and with a placebo manipulation |
Study6 | Leg | 48, 49 | 1.85 | 70 | Combination of painful stimuli with heat-predictive visual cues |
Study7 | Arm | 43.5 - 47.5 | 10 | 64 | Combination of painful stimuli with intervention for perceived control (making vs. observing cue choice) and expectancy (80% vs. 50% probabilities of low pain) |
Study8 | Leg | 48, 49, 50 | 1.85 | 96 | Combination of painful stimuli with heat-predictive visual cues and unreinforced social information |
Study9 | Leg | 46, 47, 48 | 12 | 30 | Combine painful stimuli with neural feedback on suppressing NPS activity |
Study10 | thumbnail | 4, 7 kg/cm2* | 6 | 5 | Data collected in the context of a randomized controlled trial, including a psychotherapy treatment, placebo treatment, and treatment-as-usual control group |
Study 10 delivered pressure rather than thermal stimulation.
