Emotions in chronic pain : Changes in the course of day clinic interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy

DISCUSSION: Improvements in patient-reported frequencies of positive and negative emotions during IMPT were demonstrated. Further research should validate these results using a control group. Even though no explicit increase in competence was perceivable for the studied subjects, EC had a high predictive value for emotion frequency. Future therapy designs and evaluations should focus more on changes of emotional experience.PMID:37644244 | DOI:10.1007/s00482-023-00748-z
