Be precise and suffer less pain! A comment on ``A brief intervention utilising visual feedback reduces pain and enhances tactile acuity in CLBP patients''.
of multisensory information can lead people to over24 generalize their responses (i.e. pain) to a sensory in25 put, which may itself contribute to the development of 26 maldaptive behavior which may lead to the develop27 ment of chronic pain [3,4]. On a similar path, the fear28 avoidance model predicts that imprecision in encoding 29 may contribute to the acquisition of pain-related fear 30 which also can contribute to development and mainte31 nance of persistent pain problems [4]. In line with as32 sumption of these models, results of the study by Trapp 33 and colleagues showed that the learned fear through 34 the imprecise association between sensory experience 35 and pain can be changed through new learning. Precise 36 encoding of sensory experiences in chronic low back 37 pain patients helped them to reduce their pain. 38
