Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. One of the most critical regions of the brain for pain processing is the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Several studies have examined the role of this region in thermal nociceptive pain. However, studies on mechanical nociceptive pain have been very limited to date. Although several studies have investigated pain, the interactions between the two hemispheres are still not clear. This study aimed to investigate nociceptive mechanical pain in the ACC bilaterally.
