A multidimensional examination of pain threshold and non-suicidal self-injury: psychological and physiological determinants in adolescents

Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between pain thresholds and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents, considering both psychological and physiological factors.
Examined pain thresholds in adolescents with NSSI
Evaluated autonomic reactivity during assessments
Analyzed psychological characteristics in relation to pain processing
Adolescents with NSSI exhibited higher pain thresholds
Altered autonomic reactivity was observed in this group
Findings suggest a complex interaction between pain processing and NSSI functions

Abstract

Adolescents with NSSI demonstrate elevated pain thresholds and altered autonomic reactivity. These findings highlight the importance of considering pain processing alongside psychological characteristics and NSSI functions in clinical assessment and intervention planning.
