    AbstractThis article describes the relationship between post-traumatic morbidity, anxious anticipation of pain and pain perception in 33 adult burn patients.

The more patients suffered from post-traumatic stress, the more their anxiety state was elevated. The association between post-traumatic stress and pain perception was, controlling for the effects of anxious anticipation, spurious.
