837 the impact of adolescent chronic pain on functioning: disentangling the complex role of anxiety

TL;DR: The German version of the TSK has been shown to be a reliable and valid measure for the assessment of fear of movement/(re)injury and the role of kinesiophobia as a significant predictor of pain-related disability was confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

975 comparing the role of psychological flexibility and traditional pain management coping strategies in chronic pain treatment outcomes

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Reliability and predictive utility of a dual component model of acceptance in chronic pain and its applications in management of chronic pain are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

943 a systematic review of technology‐assisted behaviour change for the management of chronic health conditions including pain
