Summary
This study experimentally manipulates pain catastrophizing in order to investigate the neural mechanisms by which pain catastrophizing influences the experience of pain in different ethnic groups among adults with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomized to either a single session cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce pain catastrophizing or a pain education control group.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention | This intervention comprises three components: 1) general education about pain (e.g., pain pathways) and a rationale for the intervention (e.g., gate control theory); 2) impact of positive and negative pain-related thoughts on neural process of pain; and 3) a guided imaginal pain exposure exercise. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Pain Education | General information about the neurobiology of pain and knee osteoarthritis will be given to participants assigned to this intervention. |
