Pain catastrophizing and negative mood states following spinal cord injury: transitioning from inpatient rehabilitation into the community

Chronic pain is prevalent in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). This research investigated how chronic pain intensity and catastrophizing varies in adults with SCI during inpatient rehabilitation up to 12 months post-injury after transitioning into the community. Eighty-eight participants with SCI were assessed for pain intensity and catastrophizing, depressive mood states and cognitive performance. Participants were divided into sub-groups of clinically elevated depressive mood and anxiety versus those with normal mood state levels.
