      <p><i>Background - </i>Fear of pain is highly correlated with pain report and physiological measures of arousal when pain is inflicted. The Fear of Pain Questionnaire III (FPQ-III) and The Fear of Pain Questionnaire Short Form (FPQ-SF) are self-report inventories developed for assessment of fear of pain (FOP).

    • Language of motivation and emotion in an internet support group for smoking cessation: Explorative use of automated content analysis to measure regulatory focus 

      Johnsen, Jan-Are Kolset; Vambheim, Sara Magelssen; Wynn, Rolf; Wangberg, Silje C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)

Based on the previous findings that a “prevention” focus might be more relevant for maintaining behavior change, it was hypothesized that 1) language use (ie, the use of emotional words) signaling a “promotion” focus would ...

    • Relaxation techniques as an intervention for chronic pain: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials 

      Vambheim, Sara Magelssen; Kyllo, Tonje; Hegland, Sanne; Bystad, Martin Kragnes (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-20)
      Chronic pain increases the risk of sleep disturbances, depression and disability. Even though medical treatments have limited value, the use of prescription-based analgesics have increased over the recent years. It is therefore important to evaluate the effect of non-pharmacological treatments. A systematic search for studies evaluating the effect of relaxation techniques on chronic pain was ...

The FPQ-III is a selfreport inventory measuring FOP, with 30 items, divided into three subscales: Severe, Minor and Medical Pain. <p> Methods: A total of 185 subjects participated (49.7% females) in this study. Sex differences on ...

    • Sex differences in pain, fear of pain and placebo analgesia 

      Vambheim, Sara Magelssen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-11-13)
      The hypothesis that males are more responsive to placebo treatment than females was tested experimentally in this thesis. The hypothesis was confirmed and the results showed that the sex difference was related to a difference in males’ and females’ stress response after placebo treatment. Placebo responses on pain unpleasantness and the P2 component was found in males, but not in females. The ...

      The autism mental status exam is an eight-item observational assessment that structures the way we observe and document signs and symptoms of ASD. Investigations of test performance indicate strong sensitivity and specificity using gold-standard assessment as reference standard. This study aims to explore potential sex differences in AMSE test performance and observations of 123 children referred ...
