Sponsored by Stanford University · Early Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
Members with chronic pain will be invited to participate in a 2-hour zoom-delivered pain psychology class entitled "Pain, Stress, \& Emotions". Surveys are completed at baseline (prior to the online class), a satisfaction survey is completed after the class, and post-treatment surveys completed 2, 4, 8, and 12 1weeks after class attendance.
2,930 studies on the registry are indexed under Chronic Pain; 699 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 74 is above the median of 60 across 2,160 interventional studies indexed under Chronic Pain.

Pain Attributions Questionnaires
Two self-report questionnaires were developed to assess psychological and brain influences on pain. The 4-item psychological attribution scale assesses patients' beliefs that their thoughts and feelings and psychological therapy impacts pain, and the 3-item brain attribution scale assesses patient's beliefs that their pain is brain-based. Mean scores will be computed for both scales separately (0-4; higher scores indicating greater belief that pain is a brain-related \[brain attribution\] construct and that pain is affected by thoughts, feelings, and psychological interventions \[psychological attribution\])
Time frame: Change from baseline to 1-Month follow-up (with secondary 2-month follow-up)
Pain Catastrophizing Scores; measured with Pain Catastrophizing Scale
Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Sullivan et al., 1995): A summed score of the 13 catastrophizing items will be computed (0-52, higher scores indicate greater catastrophizing)
Time frame: Change from baseline to 1-Month follow-up (with secondary 2-month follow-up)
