Abstract
In an example embodiment of the disclosed technology, a system can comprise a pain stimulator such as a thermal probe and a device for evaluating biological and/or neurological feedback that can provide data relating to a patient's physiological and/or neurological state. Embodiments of the disclosed technology may further comprise a computing device for implementing various aspects of the technology. Aspects of the disclosed technology can be used to reduce a patient's pain-related anxiety, thus reducing a patient's pain sensitization and pain perception, which can help a patient eliminate or lessen chronic pain symptoms.
