Patients with chronic pain will typically state that their pain controls their life. They are often depressed, anxious, frustrated and fearful of activities that could be painful. This fear, otherwise known as pain catastrophizing, has been strongly linked with increased depression, physical disuse and disability over time.
We’ve been tracking our patients’ outcomes since 2003. Below is a graph that highlights some of our findings. The graph indicates that patients who complete the program experience:
- 40% reduction in pain
- 62% less interference in their daily activities due to pain
- 61% decrease in pain catastrophizing
