Pain Catastrophizing Differs Between and Within West Haven-Yale Multidimensonal Pain Inventory (MPI) Pain Adjustment Classifications Theoretical and Clinical Implications From Preliminary Data

摘要

Objectives: Pain catastrophizing is associated with multiple pain outcomes, and is differentially associated with the adaptive coping (AC), dysfunctional (DYS), and interpersonally distressed (ID) coping classifications of the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI). We examined how catastrophizing, and the underlying components of magnification, rumination, and helplessness, may relate to MPI classifications and differentially relate to pain outcomes across classification groups to inform clinical treatment planning.
