RESUMEN
Psychological strategies can facilitate management of acute pain. Methods of intervening that are reviewed include information provision, cognitive methods such as self-statements, distraction or attention control, relaxation, and hypnosis. Individual patient coping style and anxiety may moderate need for or ability to use these techniques. Increasing perceived control may be an underlying factor common to all psychological interventions for the management of pain.
