“…The quality of life of women with breast cancer who underwent rehabilitation programs including physiotherapy, self-care education, and intervention was significantly higher than the quality of life of patients who did not participate in these programs (36). Physiotherapy with depression and anxiety intervention increased the effectiveness of physical therapy and improved the quality of life of patients (37). Furthermore, the results of this study are in line with the research that showed patients who received ACT reported less self-dissatisfaction with their pain, because ACT emphasizes psychosocial flexibility (38).…”

Background and aims: Chronic pain is a common health problem that affects various aspects of life. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) seems to be helpful in improving the quality of life and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic pain. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of ACT and physiotherapy on quality of life and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic pain. Methods: The subjects were 75 women suffering from chronic pain who were considered for physiotherapy. They were randomly divided into 3 groups including ACT, physiotherapy, and control groups. The control group consisted of 25 patients who were on the waiting list for physiotherapy. The first group participated in 8 sessions of ACT, the second group attended 10 sessions of physiotherapy, and the control group received no treatment. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) developed by Sullivan et al and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire were used in this study. Results: The results showed that the quality of life in the ACT group was significantly higher than that in the physiotherapy group and control group (P < 0.001). Moreover, there was no significant difference between the ACT and physiotherapy groups in reducing pain catastrophizing (P > 0.05), while this difference was significant between the ACT and control groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion: In general, ACT leads to a reduction in pain catastrophizing and an increase in the quality of life of patients with chronic pain. Therefore, beside the current therapy like physiotherapy, ACT can be used as another therapeutic choice for patients with chronic pain.

Chronic pain and psychiatric conditions often coexist with shared risk factors and a reverse causal link. Depression and anxiety comorbidities are associated with increased pain intensity, less favorable response to treatments, and higher medical costs. The management of psychiatric comorbidities in chronic pain conditions is less explored in India. This paper aims to review the current literature landscape of comorbid depressive and/or anxiety disorders with chronic pain conditions in the Indian populations and identify need gaps for future research. A literature search on MEDLINE database and other sources conducted from January 2010 through March 2020 retrieved 84 shortlisted eligible articles and their findings were synthesized into a narrative review. There was a high prevalence of comorbid depression and anxiety with chronic pain observed across multiple pain etiologies and population groups in the Indian setting. Women had a higher burden of psychiatric comorbidities in chronic pain conditions compared with men. Poor socioeconomic conditions and pain severity were important risk factors that predisposed individuals to psychological distress. There was limited data on evidence-based management of chronic pain and comorbid depression or anxiety for Indian populations. Barriers toward effective pain management in India occur at the level of patients, physicians, or healthcare systems; some of these challenges relate to patient’s health-seeking behavior, stigma associated with psychiatric treatment, physician awareness, and education, and access to pain medications. Future initiatives are needed toward building an evidence base for effective management of pain and comorbid psychiatric conditions in India.
