Evidence that patients with chronic pain selectively attend to pain-related stimuli presented in modified Stroop and dot-probe paradigms is mixed. The used these studies have been primarily verbal nature (i.e., words depicting themes of pain). purpose the present study was determine whether pain, relative healthy controls, show selective attention for pictures painful faces. To do so, 170 40 age- education-matched control participants were tested using a task which painful, happy, neutral...
This study examined the comparative efficacy of three interventions: a spouse-assisted coping skills training protocol for patients undergoing multidisciplinary pain management programme (SA-MPMP), conventional patient-oriented (P-MPMP) and standard medical care (SMC). Thirty-six chronic low back (CLBP) their spouses were randomly assigned to one conditions. The SA-MPMP condition consisted seven, weekly, 2-h, group sessions in dyadic couple skills, delivered by clinical psychologist with...
Cognitive-behavioural models of chronic pain contend that appraisals harm affect the individual's response to pain. It has been suggested fear and/or anxiety sensitivity predispose individuals chronicity. According this view, is maintained through hypervigilance towards painful sensations and subsequent avoidance. The present study investigates nature cognitive biases in patients. A sample 169 consecutive patients referred a specialist management centre participated study. Questionnaires...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the impact chronic pain on interpretation bias for ambiguous faces, using a recently developed paradigm with ecologically valid stimuli. Methods Fifty patients and 25 healthy controls were trained respond probes following presentation happy or painful an incidental learning task. During test phase, faces presented. degree which participants faster presented where (rather than happy) had previously been taken as indication towards...

Research suggests that chronic pain patients demonstrate cognitive biases towards pain-related information and such predict patient functioning. This study examined the degree to which a successful cognitive-behavioural program was able reduce observed attentional bias sensory words. Forty-two with conditions for more than three months were recruited prior commencing management program. Participants assessed before program, after at one-month follow-up.

Abstract Background Fear of childbirth is associated with preference for an elective caesarean section ( ECS ); however, the role fear pain and catastrophizing (the tendency to predict worst case scenario) have not been investigated.

We hypothesized that negative affectivity would mediate relationship between Methods Three hundred pregnant women 4 36 weeks gestation asked indicate they prefer deliver their baby...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a challenging problem. Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are considered as important vulnerability factors for the development and maintenance of BPD. Literature suggests complex relationship between BPD EMSs. The current study employed network analysis to model associations central features (i.e., affective instability, identity problems, negative relations, self-harm) EMSs in 706 undergraduate students. severity symptoms was assessed using...
This study investigated the time course of attention to pain and examined moderating effect attentional control in relationship between catastrophizing bias chronic patients.A total 28 patients with 29 pain-free individuals observed pictures pain, happy neutral facial expressions while their gaze behaviour was recorded. Pain intensity duration, anxiety, depression, stress, were assessed by questionnaires.In all subjects, pattern for faces characterized initial vigilance, followed avoidance....
Despite increasing interest in the attentional biases of pain patients towards pain-related stimuli, there have been no investigations whether main caregivers chronic also selectively attend to information. We compared painful or happy faces 120 patients, 118 caregivers, and 50 controls. Analyses found that both demonstrated were not observed control participants faces. Those who high fear greater than those low pain, high-in-fear-of-pain group differed significantly from zero. When...
Abstract Cognitive models of chronic pain emphasize the critical role catastrophizing in attentional bias to pain-related stimuli. The aim this study was (a) investigate relationship between and ability inhibit selective attention faces (attentional bias); (b) determine whether control moderated relationship. One hundred ten pain-free participants completed anti-saccade task with dynamic facial expressions, specifically painful, angry, happy, neutral expressions questionnaires including a...
According to the pain research literature, attentional bias for is mechanism responsible development and maintenance of fear in patients with chronic pain. However, there still some debate about exact role faster engagement versus difficulty disengagement bias.To investigate pain, we used an eye-tracker pictures pain-provoking activities compared results age- gender-matched group pain-free participants. In addition, other measures pain-related cognition severity ratings were included assess...

A treatments was used as there suboptimal response to the initial treatment. There were improvements in range outcomes at long‐term...
