“New Research Alert!
Chronic pain can be a persistent companion for many breast cancer survivors, significantly affecting their quality of life and cognitive functions. Our latest study delves into how this pain impacts risky decision-making, revealing that survivors with chronic pain are more likely to make disadvantageous choices. These findings highlight a potential “Cascade Effect”, where the cognitive overload from pain influences broader psychological dimensions.
