  • Cognitive-behavioral coping strategies are widely studied in pain management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the role of religious and nonreligious cognitive-behavioral coping in chronic pain.
  • To investigate the association between different types of coping strategies and patient outcomes.
