Study Summary
Substantial evidence suggests that psychosocial factors play a key role in explaining the risk for development of chronic pain, as well as for coping with it. Such factors include psychological perceptions or orientation towards pain, mainly referring to fear of pain and pain catastrophizing. Nonetheless, although this link is well documented, the underlying mechanisms of these processes have yet to be established. The "Attention to Variability" paradigm presents an explanatory mechanism, according to which the ability to mindfully attend to chronic symptoms enables and promotes increased control over the etiology and the expression of chronic symptoms. In support of the ATV paradigm, empirical findings demonstrate that ATV improved pregnancy outcomes and allowed people to gain control over fluctuations in their heart rates. The goal of the present study is to examine whether mindfully attending to pain sensations will decrease the intensity and frequency of chronic pain, increase perceived control of pain, and improve well-being and health-related quality of life.
