Mediators of change in depressed mood following pain rehabilitation among participants with mild, moderate, or severe depressive symptoms.
Abstract
Prior research indicates that depression and chronic pain commonly co-exist and impact each other. Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRPs) have been shown to lead to statistically and clinically significant improvements for patients who report both depressed mood and chronic pain, however there is a gap in the literature regarding the mechanisms by which these improvements occur.
