Scientists test if pain makes you worse at video games
NCT ID NCT03115788
Summary
This study aimed to understand how feeling pain might temporarily affect a person's ability to focus and think clearly. Researchers had 12 healthy volunteers play a simple attention game on an iPad, sometimes while experiencing brief, safe pain from a warm probe or cold water. The goal was to measure if and how pain changes game performance to learn more about how surgery or illness might affect thinking.
