Abstract

Background: Persistent pain is one of the most common sequelae among breast cancer survivors (BCS), seen in about one out of three. Recent insights and multidimensional aspects of pain have raised awareness about cognitive appraisals, such as perceived injustice (PI) and pain catastrophizing (PC). PI is defined as the tendency to blame others for one’s suffering, interpret one’s losses as severe and irreparable, and experience a sense of unfairness. PC is defined as the tendency to magnify or exaggerate the mental set during actual or anticipated painful experiences.
