Abstract

This study utilized the theoretical framework of the “fear avoidance model” (FAM) and investigated the role of fear of attack in pain-related disability. To this end, a measurement specific to cluster headache (CH) was used to investigate whether fear of attacks, alongside attack frequency, is a significant predictor of pain-related disability in CH.
