In Study 1, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was administered to 425 undergraduates. Analyses yielded a three component solution comprising (a) rumination, (b) magnification, and (c) helplessness. 2, 30 undergraduate participants were classified as catastrophizers (n = 15) or noncatastrophizers on basis of their PCS scores participated in an cold pressor procedure. Catastrophizers reported significantly more negative pain-related thoughts, greater emotional distress, pain intensity than...
We present a detailed framework for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological social determinants of pain through examination process communication. The focus is on an improved immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in context broader phenomena. Fine-grain consideration leads to appreciation sociobehavioral affecting both suffering persons as well caregivers. Our considers knowledge from variety perspectives, including clinical health...
The primary objective of the present study was to examine role pain-related psychological factors in predicting pain and disability following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). sample consisted 75 (46 women, 29 men) individuals with osteoarthritis knee who were scheduled for TKA. Measures severity, catastrophizing, depression, fears movement completed prior surgery. Participants measures severity self-reported 6 weeks Consistent previous research, cross-sectional analyses revealed significant...
Recent theories have suggested that chronic pain could be partly maintained by maladaptive physiological responses of the organism facing a recurrent stressor. The present study examined associations between basal levels cortisol collected over seven consecutive days, hippocampal volumes and brain activation to thermal stimulations administered in 16 patients with back 18 healthy control subjects. Results showed higher than In these patients, was associated smaller volume stronger...
This research was designed to test the hypothesis that presurgery "catastrophizing" would predict postsurgical pain and analgesic consumption.A sample of 48 individuals who underwent anterior cruciate ligament repair participated in study. All participants completed Pain Catastrophizing Scale (described by Sullivan et al 1995) prior surgery. Measures (pain scores on a scale 0-10) were obtained postanesthetic care unit, as well 1, 2, 7 days after Opioid nonopioid consumption tabulated while...
The objective of the present study was to examine relative contributions different dimensions catastrophic thinking (i.e. rumination, magnification, helplessness) pain experience and disability associated with neuropathic pain. Eighty patients diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, post-surgical or post-traumatic who had volunteered for participation in a clinical trial formed basis analyses. Spontaneous assessed sensory affective subscales McGill Pain Questionnaire. Pinprick...
BACKGROUND: Pain is the primary indication for both and revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, most outcome measures do not take pain into account. OBJECTIVE: To document prospective experience following TKA, with subjective pain‐specific questionnaires to determine if comorbidities, preoperative or catastrophizing scores are predictive of long‐term outcomes. METHODS: Fifty‐five patients a diagnosis osteoarthritis knee, who were scheduled undergo asked fill out McGill Questionnaire...
Abstract Background and Purpose. The objective of this study was to determine whether the addition a psychosocial intervention improved return-to-work rates beyond those associated with participation in functional restoration physical therapy intervention. Subjects who had sustained whiplash injuries participated Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP), which is 10-week program that aims increase activity involvement minimize psychological barriers rehabilitation progress. Methods. A...
Sex differences in the experience of pain have been widely reported, with females generally reporting more frequent clinical and demonstrating greater sensitivity. However, mechanisms underpinning such differences, while subject to intense speculation, are not well-characterized. Catastrophizing is a cognitive affective process that relates strongly enhanced reports varies as function sex. It thus prime candidate explain sex differences; indeed, several prior studies offer evidence...
The study was designed to assess whether the social context of a pain experience impacted on relation between catastrophizing and duration behaviour. Based communal coping model, prediction that presence an observer during procedure would differentially influence display behaviour in high low catastrophizers. University undergraduates taking part cold pressor were randomly assigned one two conditions: (1) participant alone (n=30), or (2) present (n=34). Analysis video records revealed...
Two experiments demonstrated that memory over an interval with relatively high amounts of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was inferior to stage 4 sleep. The results suggest that, at least for humans, REM does not facilitate consolidation and may be beneficial memory.
The present study assessed the role of pain and pain-related psychological variables in persistence post-traumatic stress symptoms following whiplash injury. Individuals (N=112) with injuries who had been admitted to a standardized multidisciplinary rehabilitation program were asked complete measures pain, symptoms, physical function at three different points during their treatment program. findings are consistent previous research showing that indicators injury severity such as reduced...
The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the sequential relationships proposed by fear-avoidance model pain [Vlaeyen JWS et al. role fear movement/(re)injury in disability. J Occup Rehab 1995;5:235-52]. Specifically, evaluated whether early change catastrophizing predicted late movement, and these factors influenced post-treatment return-to-work. Secondary analyses tested between (1) catastrophizing, depression, disability; (2) severity, Analyses were conducted on a sample 121...
As the North American population ages, prevalence of knee osteoarthritis and surgical interventions (ie, total arthroplasty [TKA]) aimed at correcting pain disability will also rise proportionally. Therefore, efforts to better understand factors associated with outcomes are warranted. To date, no studies have examined impact psychosocial on acute postoperative TKA pain.The primary objective was examine associations among catastrophizing, negative mood, demographics following TKA. Ancillary...
