The mechanisms of pain
tolerance and pain-related
anxiety in acute pain
Alina Cimpean and Daniel David

This study emphasizes the role of pain

catastrophizing and state anxiety on pain tolerance
and pain-related anxiety. Response expectancies for
pain tolerance and pain intensity were tested as
potential mediators. A cold-pressor task was used
on a healthy sample. Measures were taken before
and after cold-pressor procedure, while aversive
versus neutral information regarding the cold-
pressor task was given prior to the pain induction.
An exploratory path model was conducted. Similar
paths for pain tolerance and for pain-related
anxiety were shown in aversive condition. Also,
psychological measures may explain pain
experience in aversive context.
