Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is related to pain catastrophizing as it is frequently evaluated in clinical studies to determine its efficacy in reducing this specific symptom, as evidenced by findings in [1], [2], [3], and [4].

claimA single study (Torrijos-Zarcero et al., 2021) indicated significant differences in anxiety, pain interference, pain acceptance, pain catastrophizing, and self-compassion at post-treatment in favor of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
measurementTwo studies (Buhrman et al., 2015; Gasslander et al., 2022) found no significant differences in pain catastrophizing between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Treatment As Usual (TAU) at post-treatment, and one study (Buhrman et al., 2015) found no significant differences at follow-up.
claimTraditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) improves depression, anxiety, and quality of life in patients with comorbid chronic pain and clinically relevant psychological distress, but does not improve pain intensity or pain catastrophizing.
measurementTorrijos-Zarcero et al. (2021) reported a significant difference in decreasing pain catastrophizing at post-treatment in favor of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a very small effect size (d = 0.12).
claimThe systematic review concludes that traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may produce significant benefits for the improvement of depression, anxiety, and quality of life, but not for pain intensity and pain catastrophizing.
claimThe systematic review found no significant differences between traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and treatment as usual at post-treatment and follow-up regarding pain intensity and pain catastrophizing.
measurementBoersma et al. (2019) reported significant differences in the decrease of pain catastrophizing at post-treatment with a small effect size (d = 0.26), but not at follow-up, in favor of hybrid therapy (exposure in vivo and dialectical behavior therapy) compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
claimStudies exploring pain intensity and pain catastrophizing found no significant differences between traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Treatment As Usual (TAU) at post-treatment and follow-up.
