Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study proposes to experimentally manipulate pain catastrophizing in order to investigate the neural mechanisms by which pain catastrophizing influences the experience of pain among non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs) and non- Hispanic Whites (NHWs) with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, participants will be randomized to either a single session cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce pain catastrophizing or a pain education control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pain Catastrophizing Reduction Group

This group will be assigned to a 30-minute, single-session cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to reduce pain catastrophizing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention comprises three components: 1) general education about pain (e.g., pain pathways) and a rationale for the intervention (e.g., gate control theory); 2) impact of positive and negative pain-related thoughts on neural process of pain; and 3) a guided imaginal pain exposure exercise.

Pain Education Group

This group will receive general information about the neurobiology of pain and knee OA.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pain Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

General information about the neurobiology of pain and knee osteoarthritis will be given to participants assigned to this intervention.
