Pain catastrophizing is known to contribute to physical and mental functioning, even when controlling for the effect of pain
intensity. However, research has yet to explore whether the strength of the relationship between pain catastrophizing and painrelated
outcomes varies across pain intensity levels (i.e., moderation). If this was the case, it would have important implications
for existing models of pain and current interventions. The present investigation explored whether pain intensity moderates
the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain-related outcomes. Participants were 254 patients (62% women) with
heterogeneous chronic pain. Patients completed a measure of pain intensity, pain interference, pain catastrophizing, and physical
and mental health. Pain intensity moderated the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain interference and between
pain catastrophizing and physical health status. Specifically, the strength of the correlation between pain catastrophizing and these
outcomes decreased considerably as pain intensity increased. In contrast, pain intensity did not moderate the relationship between
pain catastrophizing and mental health. Study findings provide a new insight into the role of pain intensity (i.e., moderator) in the
relationship between pain catastrophizing and various pain-related outcomes, which might help develop existent models of pain.
Clinical implications are discussed in the context of personalized therapy. [-]
