NCT ID NCT07234123
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at how the brain naturally reduces pain when a person feels two painful sensations at the same time. Researchers tested 24 healthy University of Washington students by giving brief painful stimuli to the foot and wrist. The goal was to understand whether attention plays a role in pain reduction, alongside the brain's built-in pain-control systems.
