Emotion Regulation and Pain in Children With Cancer
This study tested the effects of emotion regulation strategies (reappraisal, reassurance, and empathy) on pain responses in children with cancer. Children with cancer were randomly assigned to one emotion regulation strategy during an experimental pain task (the cold pressor task \[CPT\]). During the CPT, children rated their pain and provided saliva samples immediately before, after, and then 15 minutes after the CPT. This study examined the influence of emotion regulation on self-reported pain and physiological activity assessed through saliva samples.
