| Abstract: | Preliminary evidence is presented concerning the relationship of measures of subjective pain experience, negative mood state and activity levels of 12 patients severely disabled with chronic pain behaviour. Prior to treatment there was a high positive correlation between pain intensity and negative mood state, and a negative correlation between pain intensity and levels of activity. Following a standardized behavioural treatment programme both these correlations were reduced, suggesting that some elements of the treatment induced desynchrony. The correlation of activity and negative mood state showed little change. The clinical and theoretical implications arc considered. |
