Summary
Psychological assessment is designed to identify problematic emotional reactions, maladaptive thinking and behavior and social problems that contribute to pain and disability. Semi-structured clinical interviews and self-report instruments allow for assessment of the different domains of the pain experience, functional impairment and pain-related disability. Although teletherapy using innovative technology has been studied in individuals with depression and anxiety, substance use disorder, and various chronic medical conditions, there has been less attention to the role teletherapy might play for persons with chronic pain, particularly within an online group setting. Rapid changes in the way healthcare services are offered have led to a need for brief, reliable, and valid measures that establish need for service and monitor efficacy of treatment. Future exploration of the benefits of psychological assessment and use of innovative technology in the assessment and treatment of chronic pain using rigorous longitudinal randomized controlled trials are needed.
