Could stress contribute to pain-related fear in chronic pain? [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Learning to predict pain based on internal or external cues constitutes a fundamental and highly adaptive process aimed at self-protection. Pain-related fear is an essential component of this response, which is formed by associative and instrumental ...

Avoidance Behavioral Difference in Acquisition and Extinction of Pain-Related Fear [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019 Fear of movement-related pain leads to two types of avoidance behavior: excessive avoidance and pain-inhibited movement. Excessive avoidance is an absence of movement by fear, and pain-inhibited movements involve a change in motor behavior for the ...

Costly pain avoidance and its impact on the modulation and extinction of visceral pain-related fear [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlong the gut-brain axis, visceral pain demonstrably evokes emotional learning and memory processes shaping behavior in clinically relevant ways. Avoidance motivated by learned fear may constitute a major obstacle to treatment success in extinction-based
