What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in managing long-term pain associated with rheumatic diseases. It aims to validate a Norwegian version of the Avoidance-Endurance Questionnaire (AE-FS) and explore its relationship with other questionnaires, such as the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. The intervention targets patients experiencing chronic pain and seeks to understand how CBT can facilitate changes in pain perception and coping mechanisms. The study is conducted at Diakonhjemmet Hospital in Oslo, focusing on a population with diverse rheumatic conditions.
