Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the dominant psychological treatment for chronic pain. CBT covers a mixture of aims and a broad range of techniques, including attentional control, modification of maladaptive beliefs and coping strategies and flexible goal setting and acceptance. Patients are exposed to varying selections of these strategies, and a major challenge for clinical practice is to determine what works for whom in which context. We propose that incorporating laboratory research into translational behaviour medicine is a critical developmental step that will help optimizing CBT and provide examples of representative experimental research programs.
认知行为疗法(CBT)是慢性疼痛的主要心理治疗方法。CBT 涵盖了一系列目标和广泛的技术,包括注意力控制、不良信念和应对策略的修正以及灵活的目标设定和接受。患者接受这些策略的不同选择,临床实践的主要挑战是确定在何种情况下对哪些患者有效。我们认为,将实验室研究纳入转化行为医学是一个关键的发展步骤,这将有助于优化 CBT,并提供代表性实验研究计划的范例。
