These results suggest that patients’ pain attributions are often inaccurate, and that promoting mind- or brain-related attributions may support the effective treatment of primary chronic pain; helping patients to consider pain as “in the brain” may help relieve it.This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial examines whether patient reattribution of primary chronic back pain to brain- or mind-related causes is associated with pain relief in pain reprocessing therapy.
