The prevalence of patients with debilitating chronic pain is around 7.3%. From the health care perspective, and given the high socioeconomic relevance of chronic pain, effective preventive measures represent useful therapeutic approaches. In the context of pain medicine, primary prevention aims to avoid acute pain. Secondary prevention is targeted at preventing acute pain from turning into chronic pain. Tertiary prevention comprises measures to diminish pain-associated disability and impairment to everyday life. Finally, quaternary prevention focuses on avoiding medically non-indicated or unhelpful medical interventions. In addition to general approaches of pain prevention, such as detecting and treating of chronification factors (yellow, black and blue flags), the present article also describes educational and disease-specific approaches in musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes as well as headaches.Interoception and impulsivity are two multi-dimensional constructs and although the role of interoception in impulsiveness has been previously reported, it is not clear whether their different facets are related to each other. In the present study, we aimed at bridging this gap by investigating the relationships between interoception and impulsivity in the light of their multi-dimensional nature. To this aim, we conducted a cross-task comparison and assessed in the same sample of healthy participants, interoceptive accuracy, by the heartbeat perception task, interoceptive sensibility, by a self-reported measure, "hot" impulsivity, by a behavioural task of risk taking, and "cool" impulsivity, by a go/no-go task. Also, we assessed trait impulsivity by a self-report measure. We found that interoceptive sensibility contributed to "hot" impulsivity, while interoceptive accuracy was related to non-planning
