Abstract in brief

  • Pain catastrophizing influences brain activity related to the emotional and attentional aspects of pain, particularly during mild pain, but not the sensory-discriminative aspects.
  • During mild pain, higher catastrophizing is linked to increased activity in areas like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, insula, and anterior cingulate, which are associated with attention and emotion.
  • In more intense pain, individuals with higher catastrophizing show decreased activity in prefrontal regions responsible for modulating pain, suggesting difficulty in disengaging from pain and which might contribute to chronic pain development.]
