Understanding Psychological Factors in Hip Pain Patients

It is essential for clinicians to consider biological, cognitive, and emotional factors in hip pain patients' treatment. Psychological aspects, such as pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy, play a significant role in chronic pain development, beyond just the physical injury.
