A study design for modulating two components of the risk architecture of chronic pain: Adverse life events and pain catastrophising (Frontiers in Psychology)
This study is testing whether EMDR can reduce chronic pain and related emotional symptoms by targeting either upsetting life memories or unhelpful pain-related thinking (such as catastrophizing), and whether changes in specific brain systems involved in pain regulation help explain those improvements.
