Abstract

Background and Aim: Pain is expressed in conceptual metaphors because of its abstract nature. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy and Acceptance and commitment therapy on Pain metaphorical perception in patients with Musculoskeletal pain. Materials and Methods: The method of this study was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. Based on this, 45 patients with Musculoskeletal pain were selected as candidates who were assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (15 people in each group) selected by a matching randomized method. All three groups responded to the Pain metaphorical perception Questionnaire in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. The compassion-focused therapy program was implemented in eight sessions on the first experimental group, and Acceptance and commitment therapy was conducted in nine sessions on the second experimental group for an hour and a half weekly. The control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26. Results: The findings indicated that compassion-focused therapy and Acceptance and commitment therapy promote the metaphorical pain perception of patients with Musculoskeletal pain (F=43. 34), and the effect of both treatments continues over time (P<0. 001). Conclusion: It seems Compassion-focused therapy and Acceptance and commitment therapy can alter the psychological and cognitive-verbal aspects of pain.
