Resumen

Esta editorial reflexiona sobre el papel de los sesgos atencionales y las estrategias de distracción en la percepción y gestión del dolor. En el texto se resalta la participación de la hipervigilancia y el sesgo atencional, en el contexto de dolor crónico como un factor influyente en la percepción del dolor. El papel de las técnicas de distracción, como la realidad virtual y la música, varía significativamente según las habilidades cognitivas y la motivación del individuo. Aunque la distracción se presenta como una herramienta útil, la eficacia relativa de las distracciones auditivas frente a las visuales indica una compleja dinámica que merece más investigación. La comprensión y aplicación de estrategias que influyan sobre variables cognitivas y emocionales son fundamentales en la intervención terapéutica del paciente con dolor, es necesario la realización de futuros estudios que puedan explorar estos mecanismos en profundidad.
