Thanks for sharing! I’m a chronic pain researcher, and I have been thinking about this idea of learned pain from my own experiences with anxiety and pain, but I didn’t know it was so prevalent in treatment.
We use functional connectivity in EEG data from chronic pain participants to distinguish differences in cortical circuits between chronic pain patients with and without widespread hyperalgesia.

Feel free to check out our provisionally accepted publication here: Disruptions in Cortical Circuit Connectivity Distinguish Widespread Hyperalgesia from Localized Pain.
