NCT05933564 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: 012/20265888
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 110
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

To investigate the association between cognitive reserve, pain catastrophizing, and cognitive function in geriatric patients with chronic pain, and to explore whether cognitive reserve moderates the relationship between pain catastrophizing and cognitive function.

Conditions

Chronic Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Association between pain catastrophizing and cognitive function

  he relationship between pain catastrophizing, as measured by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and cognitive function, as measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA version 7.1).

  Baseline assessment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Moderating effect of cognitive reserve on the association between pain catastrophizing and cognitive function

  Baseline assessment

Study Arms (1)

Chronic Pain Patients with Varying Cognitive Reserve

Community-dwelling adults aged 65-85 years with chronic pain (≥3 months) attributable to osteoarthritis or neuropathic conditions.

Other: No intervention (cross-sectional study)

Interventions

No intervention (cross-sectional study) OTHER

This is a cross-sectional study examining the association between cognitive reserve, pain catastrophizing, and cognitive function in geriatric patients with chronic pain; no intervention is being implemented or tested.
