Performance of healthy persons under pain in different cognitive load tasks: An event ‐related potential study on experimental pain individuals

ConclusionsInadequate early attention modulation, along with delayed peak energy for brain oscillation (delta and theta), could be accountable for a worse performance in cognitive tasks in the experimental pain group. Thus, cognitive load is a highly considerable factor. Overall, this study offers more insights into how healthy population works with cognitive tasks under pain neurologically.
