  1. Note: Nmin = 136, Nmax = 216. Effect size was calculated as mean difference standardized by the standard deviation at t0. The range of PCS-R and PCS-H is 0 to 20, the range of PCS-M 0 to 12. Higher values indicate greater catastrophizing. The range of SP-DSA is -6.79 to 8.43, of SP-SR -7.09 to 8.58. Higher values stand for better participation. High values regarding the two indicators for pain intensity stand for stronger pain. The range of ODI is 0-100, that of PDI 0-70. Higher values represent greater pain disability. The range of both HADS scales is 0–21, with higher values reflecting more negative affectivity
