The biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain
The prevalence and cost of chronic pain is a major physical and mental health care problem in the United States today.As a result, there has been a recent explosion of research on chronic pain, with significant advances in better understanding its etiology, assessment and treatment.The purpose of the present article is to provide a review of the most noteworthy developments in the field.The biopsychosocial model is now widely accepted as the most…
Comorbidity of Chronic Pain and Mental Health Disorders
We are entering an exciting period in mental and physical health research, resulting from a paradigm shift away from an outdated biomedical reductionism approach, to a more comprehensive biopsychosocial model, which emphasizes the unique interactions among biological, psychological and social factors required to better understand health and illness.This biopsychosocial perspective is important in evaluating the comorbidity of mental and physical …
Chronic Pain and Psychopathology
Objective Numerous studies have documented a strong association between chronic pain and psychopathology. Previous research has shown that chronic pain is most often associated with depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, substance use disorders, and personality disorders. The primary objective of this review article is to describe the nature of the relationship between chronic pain and each of these types of psychopatholog…
Coping Profile Differences in the Biopsychosocial Functioning of Patients With Temporomandibular Disorder
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether biopsychosocial functioning differences exist between samples of patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) who differ in coping profiles as assessed by the Multidimensional Pain Inventory. METHODS: A total of 322 patients who presented with TMD were administered a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment battery, and the acute or chronic status of their disorder was determined. A…
Effectiveness of a Videotaped Behavioral Intervention for Dental Anxiety
The authors evaluated the effectiveness of a videotaped behavioral treatment program in reducing dental anxiety. They compared patients who witnessed the intervention videotape with patients who saw a placebo program and with a no-treatment control group. The subjects were 66 patients who visited a dentistry clinic for prophylaxis and general dental treatment. Groups were balanced for gender and level of preference for information as measured by …
Effectiveness of a Videotaped Behavioral Intervention in Reducing Anxiety in Emergency Oral Surgery Patients
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a videotaped behavioral treatment program in reducing dental anxiety in emergency oral surgery patients. It compared a videotaped placebo program and a no-treatment control condition. Anxiety, measured for two periods during the study (an anticipatory phase just before oral surgery and a post oral surgery phase), was evaluated by means of self-report, physiological, and behavioral observation measures. Re…

Differential Effects of Heart Rate Modification Training on College Students, Older Males, and Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
Seventy male subjects participated in a six session study of feedback-mediated heart rate modification. Three groups of subjects were compared: (1) college students, (2) patients with ischemic heart disease, and (3) healthy males, age-matched to the patients. The groups did not differ in heart rate during rest or in response to a perceptual-motor tracking task. However, the college students produced significantly larger changes in cardiac rate th…
