The Effectiveness of Group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Pain Intensity, Pain Catastrophizing and Pain-Associated Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Pain
Overview
This quasi-experimental study evaluates the impact of an eight-session group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program on pain intensity, catastrophizing, and anxiety in 30 patients with chronic pain. Participants were assigned to either the experimental group or a control group and completed standardized assessments at pretest, posttest, and one-month follow-up intervals. The authors report significant improvements in the targeted symptoms for the therapy group, which were maintained during the follow-up period.
