Impact of Psychological Factors in the Experience of Pain
Abstract
This article reviews the role of psychological factors in the development of persistent pain and disability, with a focus on how basic psychological processes have been incorporated into theoretical models that have implications for physical therapy. To this end, the key psychological factors associated with the experience of pain are summarized, and an overview of how they have been integrated into the major models of pain and disability in the scientific literature is presented. Pain has clear emotional and behavioral consequences that influence the development of persistent problems and the outcome of treatment. Yet, these psychological factors are not routinely assessed in physical therapy clinics, nor are they sufficiently utilized to enhance treatment. Based on a review of the scientific evidence, a set of 10 principles that have likely implications for clinical practice is offered. Because psychological processes have an influence on both the experience of pain and the treatment outcome, the integration of psychological principles into physical therapy treatment would seem to have potential to enhance outcomes.

Pain is a subjective experience shaped by previous experience.
“pain is a subjective experience, and although it is certainly related to physiological processes, how individuals react to a new episode of pain is shaped and influenced by previous experience.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The influence of psychological factors can be portrayed as a sequence from attention through cognitive processing, appraisal, interpretation, and pain behavior.
“In our presentation, we attempt to portray the influence of psychological factors, as illustrated in Figure 1, as a sequence of processes, starting with initial awareness of the noxious stimulus, then cognitive processing, appraisal, and interpretation that leads people to act on their pain (ie, their pain behavior).7”
“Although we present this as a sequence for understanding, we are aware that this is a model, and much more work is needed to fully describe these processes.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Low self-efficacy and the feeling that pain is uncontrollable cause physical and psychological dysfunction.
“The belief that a person is capable of coping with pain is directly related to self-management; low self-efficacy, with feelings that the pain is uncontrollable cause physical and psychological dysfunction.”

When low back pain occurs in someone already under significant psychological stress or with limited coping resources, pain may lead to greater functional limitations and emotional distress.
“This model suggests that when LBP befalls an individual who is already under significant psychological stress or whose coping resources are already stretched thin, pain may result in more significant functional limitations and generate higher levels of emotional distress.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Protective psychosocial factors buffer the emotional impact of pain, while distress and emotional dysregulation predispose to pain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
