AB Psychosocial factors are important determinants of pain intensity and disability in patients with disabling musculoskeletal pain.The psychosocial aspects of disabling musculoskeletal pain include cognitive (e.g., beliefs, expectations, and coping style), affective (e.g., depression, pain anxiety, heightened concern about illness, and anger), behavioral (e.g., avoidance), social (e.g., secondary gain), and cultural factors.The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and other treatments that address the psychosocial aspects of disabling musculoskeletal pain has been confirmed in numerous high-quality studies.
