Predicting pain and disability in patients with hand fractures: Comparing pain anxiety, anxiety sensitivity and pain catastrophizing
European Journal of Pain, 09/04/09

Keogh E et al. – Participants were 82 patients with a hand fracture, recruited from a fracture clinic at a general hospital. They completed a battery of measures related to anxiety, pain and disability. Once controlling for injury–related variables, catastrophizing was found to predict current pain, pain–related anxiety predicted task–related pain, whereas anxiety sensitivity was (negatively) associated with disability. These findings are discussed in light of the relative role that these anxiety–related constructs have in pain and disability, as well as implications for future research.
