Systematic review of complications of prostate biopsy. (2013, positive): “Some authors have therefore proposed anxiety-reducing instruments (eg, music) to mitigate perceived pain [118].”
Common and differential neural networks of emotion regulation by Detachment, Reinterpretation, Distraction, and Expressive Suppression: A comparative fMRI investigation (2014, background): “The ACC, the VLPFC and the parietal cortex may be more active during Distraction (Erk et al., 2007; Frankenstein et al., 2001; Kalisch et al., 2006; Kanske et al., 2011; Phillips et al., 2008; Valet et al., 2004).”
Activation of the opioidergic descending pain control system underlies placebo analgesia.

The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research. (2011, result): “However, a subregion in the perigenual area of the ACC was coactivated in both conditions, and this finding has been replicated in other imaging studies of experimental pain in healthy subjects (Bantick et al., 2002; Valet et al., 2004).”
Stress-induced analgesia. (2009, background): “Furthermore, in a human study using a visual incongruent colour-word Stroop task as a distraction, significant reductions in pain intensity and unpleasantness to a noxious heat stimulus were observed (Valet et al., 2004).”

The cerebral signature for pain perception and its modulation. (2007, background): “…gray); DLPT (dorsolateral pontine tegmentum); ACC (anterior cingulated cortex); +/ indicates both pro- and anti- nociceptive influences, respectively. lofrontal cortex exerts top-down influences on the PAG and posterior thalamus to gate pain modulation during distraction (Valet et al., 2004).”
The cognitive control of emotion. (2005, background): “These studies have focused primarily on responses to pain (however, see [31]), and have found that performance of a verbal fluency task [32], the Stroop task [33, 34 ], or simply being asked to ‘think of something else’ [35] diminishes the aversiveness of pain, reduces activity in cortical and subco”
The neural architecture of emotion regulation (2007, background): “…painful stimulation, performing a verbal fluency task (Frankenstein, Richter, McIntyre, & Remy, 2001), the Stroop task (Bantick et al., 2002; Valet et al., 2004), or simply being asked to “think of something else” (Tracey et al., 2002) diminishes the aversiveness of pain and may reduce…”
