Abstract
⺠Pain evaluation is altered in IBS, irrespective of visceral pain thresholds. ⺠Negative emotions and expectations play an important role in pain evaluation. ⺠Pain processing in IBS is mediated by functional and structural brain changes. ⺠Peripheral neuroendocrine and immune pathways are also relevant in IBS. ⺠Studies on afferent immune-to-brain communication in visceral pain are needed.
