Abstract
Background and Aim: This study aimed to investigate a chronic pain prediction model based on catastrophic fear by considering the mediating role of self-control in patients with knee pain. Methods: The research method is descriptive and correlational and the structural equation modeling method. The present study's statistical population was all patients with knee pain who were referred to Milad Hospital in Tehran in 1398. The total sample size was 400 patients who were selected by purposive sampling method. The research instruments included Van Korf et al. (1990) chronic pain questionnaire, the Sullivan et al. (1995) catastrophic pain questionnaire, and the Tanji et al. (2004) self-control questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using AMOS software, and necessary calculations and fitting indices and path coefficients were extracted for the proposed model. Results: The results of the statistical test showed that the model fit indices are in good condition. Conclusion: The findings showed that chronic pain is directly affected by catastrophic fear factors, and the relationship between catastrophic fear and chronic pain is direct. Catastrophic fear factors also have an indirect effect on chronic pain through self-control. Therefore, self-control can alleviate the catastrophic fear of patients with chronic pain.

Abstract
- : Anterior knee pain is pain that occurs in the front and center of the knee and has a high prevalence, which is necessary to study the therapeutic effect of different methods on the pain of this disease. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treadmill use on pain in patients with anterior knee pain syndrome.
- : This study was performed on 136 patients with anterior knee pain syndrome (68 patients in the treadmill group and 68 patients in the control group). After recording demographic information and clinical notes, patients were randomly assigned to two groups and pain was recorded after intervention in both groups. The statistical test of Kai Square, Mann-Whitney and independent t was used to compare the data.
- : The results of our study showed that the mean pain score before the intervention and in the first week was not statistically significant between patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome in both treadmill and control groups, but in the fourth and eighth weeks in patients with treadmill group as There was less significance than the control group, and this difference remained significant in people under the age of 25 with a BMI greater than 25.
Conclusion: Due to the prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome, especially in young people, additional treadmill treatment should be done along with standard treatment for patients to see the improvement of patientschr('39') pain in the short term and then increase the quality of life of patients
