Abstract
The subjective experience of pain is affected by various modulating factors, such as the sufferer's level of anxiety or distraction. A recent study sheds light on the neural underpinnings of pain modulation and illustrates how we can advance towards an integrated psychological, neurobiological and clinical taxonomy of pain modulations.
