An examination of pain catastrophizing and endogenous pain modulatory processes in adults with chronic low back pain
Objective. Research on chronic low back pain (cLBP) has focused heavily on structural
abnormalities with emphasis on diagnostic imaging. However, for many cLBP patients …

The relationship between catastrophizing and altered pain sensitivity in patients with chronic low-back pain
Abstract Changes in central pain processing have been shown in patients with chronic low-
back pain (cLBP). We used quantitative sensory testing methods to identify differences in …
