Psychologic Behavioral Approaches to Pain Management for Patients with

Rheumatic Disease

Patients with rheumatic disease regard pain as one of the most important and

challenging consequences of their illnesses. Pain levels are not an

indicator of disease severity, thus medications that are intended to reduce

disease activity rarely reduce pain.

Also, there are strong relationships among psychosocial factors and pain in

patients with rheumatic diseases. Factors that tend to increase pain include

presence of depression, anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances, and maladaptive

pain beliefs and coping strategies.

Great progress has been made in the development of psychological and

behavioral pain management interventions for patients with rheumatic

disease. With such advancement it is anticipated that the next few years of

research in this area will result in even more effective pain management

interventions than those currently available.
