Σύνοψη	The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) is a 20-item self-report instrument developed by McCracken in 1998 to measure pain acceptance—the willingness to experience pain while continuing with valued life activities. Unlike pain management approaches focused on pain reduction, the CPAQ operationalizes acceptance-based treatment philosophy grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), measuring psychological flexibility in the context of chronic pain.	The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a 13-item self-report questionnaire developed by Sullivan, Bishop, and Pivik in 1995 to measure catastrophic thinking about pain—the tendency to magnify pain threat, ruminate about pain, and feel helpless in response to pain. Elevated catastrophizing predicts worse pain outcomes and is a key treatment target in cognitive-behavioral pain management.
