Links inhibition performance and HRV changes to experimental pain tolerance in healthy adults; leaves open clinical translation and chronic pain applications.
Is there an association between resting HRV, cognitive inhibition, and experimentally induced pain in young adults?
Resting HRV and cognitive inhibition are associated with pain threshold and tolerance, suggesting a three-way relationship between autonomic, cognitive, and pain mechanisms.
