First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored how pain catastrophizing (exaggerated negative thoughts about pain), fear of movement, and neck awareness relate to arm and hand function in people with chronic neck pain. Researchers measured these factors in 114 participants using questionnaires. The goal was to better understand the links between psychological factors and physical ability, which could inform future treatments.
