Abstract
(Intl J Obstet Anesthesia. 2024;57:103954. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijoa.2023.103954) Pain catastrophizing is an exaggerated negative response to pain, linked to increased pain severity and negative outcomes. In obstetrics, it is associated with greater labor pain, more analgesic use, and poor postpartum recovery. This study aimed to quantify the impact of pain catastrophizing on labor and postpartum pain, hypothesizing that high-catastrophizing (HC) women would report higher pain and analgesic use than low-catastrophizing (LC) women.
