Pain is influenced by multiple emotional and cognitive factors. This paper provides an overview of the most important emotional and cognitive factors affecting pain, which has been confirmed in experimental and clinical studies. Emotional factors that increase pain perception include anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions. Positive emotions lead to a decrease in pain. Cognitive factors such as attention, expectation anxiety, and pain assessment can both increase and decrease pain sensations, depending on their specific focus. It becomes clear that pain is not just a reflection of nociceptive irritation, but also a feeling formed by psychological factors that can be individual in each case.

Keywords:

chronic pain
emotional factors
depression
cognitive functions
