Abstract
These findings support the hypothesis that the heightened pain reported by individuals higher in pain catastrophizing may be related to a disruption in the endogenous modulation of pain, operationalized by assessing DNIC. Whether interventions that reduce pain catastrophizing affect pain outcomes via effects on DNIC is in need of investigation.
