[PainConcernProjects]

Please see information from Myfanwy (researcher) below. Please direct any queries to Myfanwy on the e-mail listed on the poster.

"You are being invited to take part in research on chronic pain. Chronic pain is pain that lasts for longer than 3 months despite medication or treatment. Myfanwy Williams, Trainee Clinical Psychologist, at the University of Edinburgh is leading this research.

What is the purpose of the study?

The purpose of the study is to explore whether noticing nature is helpful for peoples experiences of chronic pain. Pain rumination is common experience of chronic pain which is linked to making pain worse. Pain rumination is where a person worries about the cause or consequence of their pain. Finding a solution to pain rumination is important as chronic pain can be a lifelong condition, so it is vital we research free and accessible supports for people who experience chronic pain and find out why they might work.

We would appreciate your help with our study which is a questionnaire which thinks about your experiences in the previous week. By taking part and completing the questionnaire you will be entered into a prize draw to win one of eight twenty-five pound vouchers for Amazon or Love-2-shop. You will then be asked to complete some questionnaires, which usually take no longer than 30 minutes to complete.

I do not think I suffer Pain Rumination just fequent bouts of bad/severe Phantom Pain. In fact I forget all about it most of the time and then it hits me like a bolt of lightning. Would my participation be of any use?
