Study of Pain Catastrophizing-2 (SPAC-2)

This intervention comprises three components: 1) general education about pain (e.g., pain pathways) and a rationale for the intervention (e.g., gate control theory); 2) impact of positive and negative pain-related thoughts on neural process of pain; and 3) a guided imaginal pain exposure exercise.

General information about the neurobiology of pain and knee osteoarthritis will be given to participants assigned to this intervention.
