The study was carried out to investigate whether depression and pain catastrophizing predict responsiveness to analgesics among chronic pain patients. 119 respondents participated in this study and were each subjected to the pain catastrophizing scale: the geriatric depression scale and the numeric pain scale. The results showed that depression significantly predicted pain catastrophizing. Depression also significantly predicted responsiveness to analgesics.
