“…Scores on the ASI (mean=12.69, SD=5.74), FPQ III (mean=82.2, SD=13.16), and STAI-T (mean=35.69, SD=9.09) were within the range of responses typically given by healthy normal participants (McNeil & Rainwater, 1998;Reiss et al, 1986;Speilberger et al, 1983). ASI scores were not significantly correlated with either FPQ (r=.42, P<.16) or STAI-T (r=−.32, P<.30) scores, and FPQ and STAI-T scores also did not correlate significantly (r=−.41, P<.20).…”

“…Upon exiting the scanner, participants used verbal rating scales to rate the unpleasantness (0=not unpleasant, 10=most unpleasant experience imaginable) and the intensity (0=not at all intense, 10=most intense imaginable) of the noxious stimulation they had received. In a separate session immediately following scanning, participants completed the FPQ III (McNeil & Rainwater, 1998), ASI (Reiss et al, 1986), and STAI-T (Sawamoto et al, 2000).…”

Although individual differences in fear and anxiety modulate the pain response and may even cause more suffering than the initiating physical stimulus, little is known about the neural systems mediating this relationship. The present study provided the first examination of the neural correlates of individual differences in the tendency to (1) feel anxious about the potentially negative implications of physical sensations, as measured by the anxiety sensitivity index (ASI), and (2) fear various types of physical pain, as indexed by the fear of pain questionnaire (FPQ). In separate sessions, participants completed these questionnaires and experienced alternating blocks of noxious thermal stimulation (45-50 °C) and neutral thermal stimulation (38 °C) during the collection of whole-brain fMRI data. Regression analyses demonstrated that during the experience of pain, ASI scores predicted activation of a medial prefrontal region associated with self-focused attention, whereas FPQ scores predicted activation of a ventral lateral frontal region associated with response regulation and anterior and posterior cingulate regions associated with monitoring and evaluation of affective responses. These functional relationships cannot be wholly explained by generalized anxiety (indexed by STAI-T scores), which did not significantly correlate with activation of any regions. The present findings may help clarify both the impact of individual differences in emotion on the neural correlates of pain, and the roles in anxiety, fear, and pain processing played by medial and orbitofrontal systems.

“…[31][32][33] Fear of pain itself is a highly relevant concept in pain research. 34 In fact, it led one of the present authors to develop the Fear of Dental Pain questionnaire (FDP). 35 A recent study points out that the concept may directly be related to elevated pain levels during periodontal probing.…”

Pain-related fear and catastrophizing are important variables of consideration in an individual's pain experience. Methodological limitations of previous studies limit strong conclusions regarding these relationships. In this follow-up study, we examined the relationships between fear of pain, pain catastrophizing, and experimental pain perception. One hundred healthy volunteers completed the Fear of Pain Questionnaire (FPQ-III), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Coping Strategies Questionnaire-Catastrophizing scale (CSQ-CAT) before undergoing the cold pressor test (CPT). The CSQ-CAT and PCS were completed again following the CPT, with participants instructed to complete these measures based on their experience during the procedure. Measures of pain threshold, tolerance, and intensity were collected and served as dependent variables in separate regression models. Sex, pain catastrophizing, and pain-related fear were included as predictor variables. Results of regression analyses indicated that after controlling for sex, pain-related fear was a consistently stronger predictor of pain in comparison to catastrophizing. These results were consistent when separate measures (CSQ-CAT vs. PCS) and time points (pre-task vs. "in-vivo") of catastrophizing were used. These findings largely corroborate those from our previous study and are suggestive of the absolute and relative importance of pain-related fear in the experimental pain experience.Perspective-Although pain-related fear has received less attention in the experimental literature than pain catastrophizing, results of the current study are consistent with clinical reports highlighting this variable as an important aspect of the experience of pain.
