Description

Gourav Banerjee and co-authors report a pain study, published in 2024, on whether a parent's way of fearing pain shows up in a child's pain responses. Pain catastrophizing means treating pain as overwhelming and hard to bear, and parents who do this often have children with worse clinical pain. The team asked whether the link reaches into measured pain sensitivity in the lab.

Forty-five healthy girls around age twelve took part with one parent each. Parents filled in catastrophizing scales about their own pain and their child's, while the girls rated their own pain outlook and faced a battery of heat, pressure, and cold tests. The analysis weighed parent scores against the girls' measured responses, accounting for the child's own outlook and stage of puberty.
