1. Introduction Chronic pain has been recognized as that persists past normal healing time5 and hence lacks the acute warning function of physiological nociception.35 Usually is regarded chronic when it lasts or recurs for more than 3 to 6 months.29 a frequent condition, affecting an estimated 20% people worldwide6,13,14,18 accounting 15% physician visits.25,28 should receive greater attention global health priority because adequate treatment human right, duty any care system provide it.4,13...
Two studies are presented that investigated ‘fear of movement/(re)injury’ in chronic musculoskeletal pain and its relation to behavioral performance. The 1st study examines the among fear movement/(re)injury (as measured with Dutch version Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-DV)) (Kori et al. 1990), biographical variables (age, duration, gender, use supportive equipment, compensation status), pain-related (pain intensity, cognitions, coping) affective distress (fear depression) a group 103...
There is growing evidence for the idea that in back pain patients, pain-related fear (fear of pain/physical activity/(re)injury) may be more disabling than itself. A number questionnaires have been developed to quantify fears, including Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia (TSK), and Pain Anxiety Symptoms (PASS). total 104 presenting a rehabilitation center or comprehensive clinic with chronic low were studied three independent studies aimed at (1)...

Objective The aim of the current study was to examine relation between catastrophizing and pain intensity, pain-related disability, psychological distress in a group patients with chronic pain, controlling for level physical impairment. Furthermore, it examined whether these relations are same three subgroups patients: those low back musculoskeletal other than miscellaneous complaints, excluded. Design Correlational, cross-sectional. Patients Setting Participants this were 211 consecutive...
1. Fear and avoidance of pain The large individual variations in response to a similar nociceptive stimulus the development persistent after an acute episode have puzzled researchers clinicians alike. Pain is biologically relevant vital signal bodily threat, urging protective behaviors, which include increased arousal, prioritization attention sources pain, instant withdrawal, facial expression, avoidance. Fear-Avoidance model (Figure 1) has been introduced as theoretical guide research...
Several cognitive-behavioral factors contribute to the persistence of pain disability in patients with chronic back pain. Fear-avoidance beliefs and fear movement/(re)injury particular have been shown be strong predictors physical performance disability. Patients reporting substantial pain-related might benefit from exposure vivo a set individually tailored, fear-eliciting, hierarchically ordered movements rather than more general graded activity.Six consecutive low who reported were...
Abstract The present study attempted to replicate the robustness of a two‐factor model Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients and fibromyalgia patients, by means confirmatory factor analysis. Construct predictive validity TSK subscales were also examined. Results clearly indicated that fitted best both samples. These two factors labelled somatic focus , which reflects belief underlying serious medical problems, activity avoidance may result (re)injury or...
Since pain-related fear may contribute to the development and maintenance of chronic low back pain (CLBP), an exposure in vivo treatment (EXP) was developed for CLBP patients. We examined effectiveness as well specific mediating mechanisms EXP versus operant graded activity (GA) directly 6 months post-treatment a multi-centre randomized controlled trial. In total, 85 patients suffering from disabling non-specific reporting at least moderate were randomly allocated or GA. It demonstrated that...
The objectives of this study were to investigate pain cognitions and quality life chronic patients referred a multi-disciplinary university management clinic search for predictors life.A heterogeneous group 1208 the Maastricht hospital participated in cross-sectional study. At initial assessment, all completed set questionnaires on demographic variables, cause, location, intensity (McGill questionnaire, MPQ), coping beliefs (pain cognition list, PCCL), catastrophising scale, PCS) eight...
To identify somatic and psychologic predictors of pain, functional limitations, global perceived recovery, quality life 6 months after surgical intervention.Recent studies have indicated that chronic pain intervention is more common than previously assumed. Several demographic long-term unfavorable outcome been identified, but little known about the contribution risk factors.A prospective cohort study, including 625 patients undergoing elective surgery at University Hospital Maastricht, The...
