description Hong-Bin Liang,1,2 Wan-You He,2 Yan-Ping Liu,3 Han-Bing Wang1,2 1Graduate School of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Anesthesiology, The First People’s Hospital of Foshan, Foshan, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China; 3College of Nursing, Shandong First Medical University (Shandong Academy of Medical Science), Jinan, Shandong Province, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Han-Bing Wang, Department of Anesthesiology, The First People’s Hospital of Foshan, No. 81 North of Ling Nan Road, Foshan, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China, Email fswhbing@126.comAbstract: A negative correlation exists between attention and pain. The cognitive impairments linked to pain can significantly impede a patient’s healing process and everyday tasks, particularly for individuals experiencing persistent pain. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that diversion can effectively decrease pain levels in individuals. The focus of this review is to analyze clinical trials and fundamental investigations regarding alterations in focus and persistent discomfort. Moreover, we investigated the common neuroanatomy associated with attention and pain. Furthermore, we examined the impact of various neuromodulators on the transmission of pain and processes related to attention, while also considering the potential neural mechanisms that contribute to the co-occurrence of pain and attention deficits. Further investigation in this field will enhance our comprehension of patient symptoms and the underlying pathophysiology, ultimately resulting in more objective approaches to treatment.Keywords: pain, attention deficit, brain, neuromodulator
