The Association of Complementary Health Approaches With Mood and Coping Strategies Among Orthopedic Patients.

Variation in pain intensity and magnitude of disability among patients with musculoskeletal illness is largely accounted for by variations in symptoms of depression, catastrophic thinking, and heightened illness concern.
