Conditioned Pain Modulation Efficiency is Associated with Pain Catastrophizing in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain.

Authors

Abstract

Previous studies have found a negative association between a conditioning pain modulating (CPM) response and pain catastrophizing among pain-free subjects. This study investigated the difference in CPM response between patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy controls, and the association between pain catastrophizing and the CPM response.
