Meta AnalysisA meta-analytic review of the association between anxiety sensitivity and pain.
In recent years, anxiety sensitivity (AS) has demonstrated applicability across a wide range of conditions. An area of particular interest has been the association between AS and pain. ⋯ Results indicate that AS was strongly associated with fearful appraisals of pain, with more modest results for measures of pain tolerance/threshold and pain-related disability. Implications of these results for the treatment of chronic pain are discussed.
