Coping With Pain
Pain: Clinical Updates (IASP’s clinical newsletter), 10/02/09

Keefe FJ et al. – When meeting someone who suffers from persistent pain, one key question that often arises is: "How do you cope with the pain?" Attempts to understand pain coping have been a major focus of psychosocial pain research and clinical practice for the past two decades. Much of the interest in pain coping can be traced back to the emergence of more sophisticated models of pain (e.g., the gate control theory, the neuromatrix theory)...This issue of Pain: Clinical Updates provides a brief overview of clinical research on pain coping. In the first section, the authors highlight descriptive studies of pain coping. In the second section, the authors review studies testing interventions designed to enhance pain coping. In the third and final section, the authors discuss several important directions for future clinical research in this area.
