Catastrophic Thinking: A Transdiagnostic Process Across Psychiatric Disorders (2016, background): “Catastrophic beliefs have been found to predict low back pain (Picavet et al. 2002), depression (Martin and Dahlen 2005), disability and increased likelihood of unemployment (Geisser and Roth 1998; Sullivan et al. 1998), and postoperative pain (Granot and Ferber 2005; Pavlin et al. 2005).”
The biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain: scientific advances and future directions. (2007, background): “Fear-avoidance beliefs are also related to the future inception of (back) pain in the general population (Linton, Buer, Vlaeyen, & Hellsing, 2000; Picavet et al., 2002).”
Prognosis Research Strategy (PROGRESS) 2: Prognostic Factor Research (2013, background): “Clinicians and researchers have hypothesised that fear avoidance beliefs may be a modifiable prognostic factor and have recommended patient management to decrease fear avoidance and promote normal activities (such as through graded activity exposure) [28,29].”
The Fear-Avoidance Model of Musculoskeletal Pain: Current State of Scientific Evidence (2006, background): “…for their reviews, Linton (2000) concluded that fear avoidance beliefs were associated with both the inception and continuation of LBP, whereas Pincus et al. (2002) concluded that there was too little support for this conclusion and that instead distress and depressive mood affected the…”
