Research suggests that the experience of chronic pain is affected by a number of different psychological variables. Cognitions regarding the chronic pain experience have been found to influence such factors as response to treatment among chronic pain patients. Patients' beliefs and attitudes toward their chronic pain condition become the internal reality controlling pain behaviors.

520 $a Research suggests that the experience of chronic pain is affected by a number of different psychological variables. Cognitions regarding the chronic pain experience have been found to influence such factors as response to treatment among chronic pain patients. Patients' beliefs and attitudes toward their chronic pain condition become the internal reality controlling pain behaviors.
520 $a This study examined the relationship between treatment outcome and pain beliefs, pain intensity, and perceived control over pain. Sixty-one adults with a variety of chronic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis) were administered the Pain Beliefs Inventory, the Pain Control Scale, and the Numeric Pain Intensity Scale as part of a larger treatment outcome study at a university medical center. Demographic data were also gathered regarding variables such as duration of pain, pain treatment history, medical history, substance use history, and history of physical/sexual abuse.
520 $a Results of statistical analyses indicate that there is an inverse relationship between belief pathology and treatment outcome. Patients with a higher level of maladaptive beliefs regarding their pain condition were found to respond less favorably to treatment when compared to patients with fewer maladaptive beliefs. The data also suggest an inverse relationship between pain intensity and treatment outcome. Patients who perceive their pain as less intense tended to respond better to treatment than those with higher pain intensity self-ratings. A positive relationship between perceived control over pain and treatment outcome was also noted. Those patients who perceived themselves as having a greater degree of control over their pain condition demonstrated a more favorable response to treatment when compared to patients who perceived themselves as exerting less control. A stronger relationship between belief pathology and treatment outcome was noted for older subjects. This finding was attributed to older subjects most likely having less malleable belief systems than younger patients. Only perceived control over pain and belief pathology were revealed as a statistically significant predictor of treatment outcome.
