Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain: Does Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Influence Treatment Outcomes?
Overview
This longitudinal study examines whether post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) influences treatment outcomes for veterans with chronic pain undergoing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The research compares changes in pain interference, severity, acceptance, depressive symptoms, and anxiety between participants with and without PTSD at post-treatment and six-month follow-up. Results indicate that while both groups improved significantly, those with co-occurring PTSD showed fewer long-term gains in depressive symptoms compared to those with chronic pain alone.
