Aim and Chronic pain is a degenerative and disabling situation which is accompanied by several psychological variables. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating results the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in reduction of catastrophizing, and pain intensity in patients suffering musculoskeletal chronic pain.
The present study was an sub - experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The study statistical population included all the patients with musculoskeletal chronic pain referred to the professional clinic of pain of Tabriz in 2014 who overall, 40 patients were selected through purposive non-random sampling method based on pain specialist diagnosis, and clinical interview. Then participants were randomly allocated into two experimental and control groups. The instrumentals of this study were catastrophizing scale (PCS) and visual analog scale (VAS) who participants completed in pre-test and post-test. Descriptive statistical methods and covariance analysis were used for analysis of the data.
Findings: The results showed that training mindfulness based stress was effective in reducing catastrophizing, and pain intensity in patients.
Performing psychological treatments beside medicine treatment is effective in treating patients suffering chronic musculoskeletal pain

Aim: This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy techniques in reducing catastrophizing, fear of movement, pain disability, and pain intensity in musculoskeletal chronic pain sufferers.
This study is a single subject investigation based on multiple baseline design which is one of quasi-experimental research design. The participants were two women patients suffering chronic back pain who were selected through purposive non-random sampling method from among clients of Pain Clinic of Tabriz, based on pain specialist diagnosis, clinical interview and screening tools. The protocol was conducted in 12, 60-minute session on. Also 2 baseline sessions and 1, 1-month follow up session was done. Catastrophizing, fear of movement, pain disability and pain intensity questionnaires were filled by subjects in 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 14th baseline sessions and the follow up session. Treatment results were investigated through visual inspection method.
According to results Dialectical Behavior Therapy was effective in reducing catastrophizing, fear of movement, pain disability and pain intensity. Also these effects were maintained in patients to a large extent in the follow up session.
Psychological as well as medical treatment can be helpful in the patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

The current study aimed to investigate the role of catastrophizing as mediator variable in the relationship of neuroticism and extraversion with fear of movement and pain intensity in patients with musculoskeletal pain.
This study was conducted on 200 subjects who were selected through purposive sampling from among the clients of Shohada, Emam Hossein, and Sina Hospitals in Tehran, Iran, and the Pain Clinic in Tabriz, Iran. The subjects completed the Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and Visual analog scale (VAS). The data were analyzed using LISREL software through path analysis method.
Among the personality traits, neuroticism had a positive impact on catastrophizing, and thus, caused fear of movement and pain intensity in patients with chronic pain. However, extraversion and openness to experience with a negative impact on catastrophizing caused a reduction in fear of movement and pain intensity.
Based on the results of this study, neuroticism, through decreasing the pain threshold, causes catastrophizing and results in higher degrees of fear of movement and pain intensity. Nevertheless, extraversion (through increasing the pain threshold, and thus, decreases sensitivity to physical and sensory stimuli) and openness to experiences (due to high flexibility in the face of new experiences) have negative effects on catastrophizing.

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in management of pain and functional limits of chronic pain patients. In this semi-experimental study, 30 volunteer female patients suffering from chronic pain attending a clinical assessment for treatment of chronic pain were recruited using the convenience sampling. Then, they were randomized to intervention or control group. Both groups completed the graded classification of chronic pain and pain disability questionnaires. The intervention lasted approximately 8 weeks. Data was analyzed by descriptive and covariance analysis. Our results indicated that the severity of perceived pain (p=0/001) and disability caused by pain (p=0/04) in intervention group decreased significantly in comparison with the control group. The results suggest that themindfulness intervention can decrease the severity of perceived pain and disability in chronic pain patients.
