Association Between Interoceptive Accuracy and Pain Perception: Insights From Trained Musicians and Athletes
This study advances our understanding of the interoception-pain-training nexus by revealing two distinct pathways: one linking sensorimotor training, interoceptive accuracy and pressure pain perception and another showing that accumulated sensorimotor training independently elevates pain thresholds. By differentiating between pain modalities, the findings contribute to resolving previous contradictory results, refine our insights into interoception in healthy populations and inform about potential clinical interventions.
