Depressive symptoms are common in chronic pain. Previous research has found differences in information-processing biases between depressed and non-depressed pain patients, with strong evidence for the existence of recall biases in chronic pain (1,2). Negative future thinking is common in depression, but has not been explored in relation to chronic pain and information-processing models. This study aimed to test the SEMP with reference to future thinking (see Fig. 1).
