It is interesting to ask which mechanisms are causing this association; e...

Defined as “an exaggerated negative mental set brought to bear during actual or anticipated pain experience” (Sullivan et al., 2001), catastrophising is associated with poor outcomes including greater pain intensity, distress and disability in almost every situation where pain is experienced (Sullivan & Tripp, 2024).
