Treatments Addressing Pain-Related Fear and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Preliminary Review
Overview
This preliminary review examines cognitive behavioral treatments for fear-avoidance beliefs in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, specifically graded in vivo exposure, graded activity, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mixed protocols. The authors note that existing research suggests graded in vivo exposure and ACT may yield the best outcomes for this population. The resource also highlights a geographic bias in the literature, with most studies originating from the Netherlands and Scandinavia rather than North America.
