Pain is thought to capture our attention. A consequence is that our performance on other tasks may suffer. Research has supported this, showing that pain disrupts our ability to perform various attention tasks. However, the specific nature of the effect of pain on attention is inconsistent, possibly due to different studies investigating different types of pain. Few studies seek to replicate basic findings. Here, we conceptually replicated and extended the headache study by Moore, Keogh & Eccleston (2013), by including two additional attention tasks, a broader sample, and measures of affect and pain cognitions.
