Advances in the Study of Pain Catastrophizing in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

本文对膝关节骨性关节炎患者疼痛灾难化的概念、研究现状、核心评估工具及影响因素、干预措施进行综述。提出疼痛灾难化是膝关节骨性关节炎患者疼痛行为的主要心理因素，疼痛灾难化研究对膝关节骨性关节炎患者的疼痛管理意义重大；未来应扩大疼痛灾难化研究领域中的患者人群，研制特异性关节炎患者疼痛灾难化评估工具，以提高膝关节骨性关节炎患者疼痛管理质量。 This article reviews the concept of pain catastrophising in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, the current state of research, core assessment tools, influencing factors, and interventions. It is proposed that pain catastrophising is the main psychological factor of pain behaviour in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, and that pain catastrophising research is of great significance for pain management in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee; in the future, we should expand the patient populations in the field of pain catastrophising research, and develop specific arthritis patients’ pain catastrophising assessment tools, in order to improve the quality of pain management in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
