Pain Catastrophizing Significantly Associated with Evoked Pain Intensity during Neurodynamic Test.

Overall model
R² = .182
Adjusted R² = .125
F_4,57 = 3.17
P = .02

Variables	B	Standard β^†	P Value	VIF^§
Pain Catastrophizing	.101	.442	<.01	1.27
Fear of Pain	− .027	− .091	.51	1.33
Kinesiophobia	− .026	− .070	.59	1.17
Anxiety	.038	.142	.26	1.09

Evoked Pain Intensity^‡ = .505 + .101(PCS) - .027(FPQ) - .026(TSK-G) + .038(STAI)

PCS – Pain Catastrophizing Scale; FPQ-9 – Fear of Pain Questionnaire; TSK-G – Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia; STAI – State-Trait Anxiety Questionnaire

^†

Standardized beta (β) coefficients represent a unit which allow for direct comparisons between other variables entered in the regression model and evoked pain intensity.

(β = .442, p <.01) indicates a one unit increase in pain catastrophizing would be expected to result in a (.44) unit increase in evoked pain intensity.

VIF – variance inflation factor, representing a measure of multicollinearity

VAS ratings during neurodynamic testing.
