Abstract

Individuals experience chronic pain differently, not only based on different clinical diagnosis, but also on differing degrees of influence by biopsychosocial pain modulators. We aimed to cluster chronic pain patients into distinct subgroups based on psychosocial characteristics and pain intensity, and subsequently examined group differences in pain-related interference approximately one year later.
