The effect of monitoring ‘processing style’ on post‐surgical neuropathic pain in women with breast cancer

Pain is a commonly reported symptom following surgery that is more likely to occur in individuals psychologically distressed prior to surgery. Monitoring processing style, a cognitive tendency to focus on health‐related threats, has been associated with increased reporting of somatic symptoms, but no studies have specifically addressed the link between this cognitive style and pain. This prospective clinical study aimed to investigate whether monitoring processing style predicted post‐surgical pain in women undergoing breast surgery, controlling for pre‐surgical psychological distress.
