Perspectives on Pain: A Narrative Review of Pain Beliefs, Coping, and Clinical Implications
Overview
This narrative review synthesizes evidence on how pain-related beliefs influence coping behaviors and clinical outcomes across neuropathic, nociplastic, and nociceptive pain conditions. It examines the impact of negative beliefs, such as fear-avoidance and catastrophizing, alongside positive beliefs like self-efficacy, on treatment adherence and functional recovery. The resource highlights gaps in current clinical assessment and discusses implications for multidisciplinary, belief-informed interventions.
