Pain catastrophizing is a maladaptive cognitive response characterized by an exaggerated negative interpretation of pain experiences. It has been associated with greater disability and poorer outcomes in chronic pain, to include several specific orofacial pain conditions. The goal of this study was to examine pain catastrophizing at a military orofacial pain specialty clinic.
