Predictors of treatment outcome in contextual cognitive and behavioural therapies for chronic pain: a systematic review

There is increasing evidence that Contextual forms of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) are effective in the management of chronic pain, yet little is understood about the factors that moderate or predict outcomes in these treatments. This systematic review aimed to identify pre-treatment participant characteristics associated with positive treatment responses in Contextual CBT for chronic pain. Medline, EMBASE, PsychINFO and CENTRAL were searched to identify eligible studies. Studies were included if the participants were adults with chronic pain, designs were longitudinal, treatments focused on psychological flexibility or mindfulness, and reported results allowed for examination of moderators or predictors of standard treatment outcomes.
