Description
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale includes 13 items that measure heightened negative cognitive and affective pain responses. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert style scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time) with higher scores indicating more catastrophizing. A total score for the Pain Catastrophizing Scale can be calculated as the average of all responses. This protocol was validated in individuals aged 18 years and older.

Definition
Pain catastrophizing is an amplified negative experience of pain including ruminating on the pain, magnifying the pain, and feelings of helplessness about the experience.
Purpose
Pain catastrophizing is associated with poor pain outcomes, including an increase in pain sensitivity, greater use of opioids, longer hospital stays, and increased health care utilization. Individuals with sickle cell disease report higher levels of pain catastrophizing when compared with other chronic conditions such as arthritis and back pain.
