Study of Pain Catastrophizing

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Osteo Arthritis Knee

In brief

This study proposes to experimentally manipulate pain catastrophizing in order to investigate the neural mechanisms by which pain catastrophizing influences the experience of pain among non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs) and non- Hispanic Whites (NHWs) with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, participants will be randomized to either a single session cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce pain catastrophizing or a pain education control group.
