causes heavy medical costs and has a negative impact on a person’s performance, and psychological issues are
one of the most important factors in exacerbating and perpetuating chronic pain. The aim of this study was to

Material & Methods: The present study is a causal-comparative study, for which 104 people with chronic pain
and 104 healthy individuals were selected. After collecting the data, independent groups were tested by using
T-test.
