Abstract

While numerous studies show that preoperative pain catastrophizing is a risk factor for pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), little is known regarding the temporal course of the association between perioperative pain catastrophizing and pain severity. The present study investigated temporal changes and their dynamic associations between pain catastrophizing and pain severity before and after TKA.
