Pain that is interpreted as threatening can lead to fear, avoidance and disengagement from valued activities. Low back pain (LBP) associated with high pain-related fear is disabling. The body of work presented in this doctoral thesis aims to better understand the relationship between pain, fear and disability; and how the process of change unfolds for individuals with persistent LBP and high pain-related fear over the course of an exposure-based behavioural intervention. | en_US |
