Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the relationship between pain thresholds and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents, considering both psychological and physiological factors.
  • Examined pain thresholds in adolescents with NSSI
  • Evaluated autonomic reactivity during assessments
  • Analyzed psychological characteristics in relation to pain processing
  • Adolescents with NSSI exhibited higher pain thresholds
  • Altered autonomic reactivity was observed in this group
  • Findings suggest a complex interaction between pain processing and NSSI functions

Abstract

Adolescents with NSSI demonstrate elevated pain thresholds and altered autonomic reactivity. These findings highlight the importance of considering pain processing alongside psychological characteristics and NSSI functions in clinical assessment and intervention planning.
