The results revealed that the intervention group was superior to waitlist control group with regard to primary outcome measure of gratitude, pain acceptance, disability, pain catastrophization, and pain anxiety, reflecting statistically and clinically significant differences, with gains maintained at a month posttreatment test. However, pain severity decreased at posttreatment test, but the effect was not maintained at follow-up. The comparison group was superior to waitlist control group with regard to primary outcome measure of disability, pain catastrophization, reflecting statistically and clinically significant differences, with gains maintained at a month posttreatment test. However, there were no statistically significant differences in pain acceptance, pain severity. Pain anxiety decreased at posttreatment test, but the effect was not maintained at follow-up.
