Cognitive reappraisal and acceptance strategies have been shown to be effective in reducing pain experience and increasing pain tolerance. However, no systematic reviews have focused on the relationship between the use of these two strategies and peripheral physiological correlates when pain is experimentally induced. This systematic review aims to summarize the existing literature that explores the relationship between emotion regulation strategies (i.e., cognitive reappraisal and acceptance) and peripheral correlates of the autonomic nervous system and facial electromyography, such as affect-modulated responses and corrugator activity, on laboratory tasks where pain is induced. The systematic review identifies nine experimental studies that meet our inclusion criteria, none of which compare these strategies. Although cognitive reappraisal and acceptance strategies appear to be associated with decreased psychological responses, mixed results were found for the effects of the use of both strategies on all the physiological correlates. These inconsistencies between the studies might be explained by the high methodological heterogeneity in the task designs, as well as a lack of consistency between the instructions used in the different studies for cognitive reappraisal, acceptance, and the control conditions.
认知重评和接纳策略已被证明能有效减轻疼痛体验和提高疼痛耐受力。然而，目前尚无系统综述专门关注在实验性诱导疼痛时，这两种策略的使用与外周生理相关物之间的关系。本系统综述旨在总结现有文献，探讨情绪调节策略（即认知重评和接纳）与自主神经系统和面部肌电图等外周相关物之间的关系，这些相关物包括在诱导疼痛的实验室任务中受情绪调节的反应和皱眉肌活动。系统综述共确定了 9 项符合纳入标准的实验研究，但没有一项研究对这两种策略进行比较。尽管认知重评和接纳策略似乎与心理反应的减少有关，但使用这两种策略对所有生理相关物的影响的结果却存在差异。研究之间的这种不一致可能是由于任务设计的高度方法学异质性以及不同研究中用于认知重评、接纳和对照条件的指令缺乏一致性所导致。
