Chronic pain is a global health concern and often interferes with multiple aspects of individuals' lives (eg, physical activities), diminishing a person's ability to engage in activities that promote meaning in life. However, it is not well understood how believing that one can live a meaningful life despite pain could contribute to improved function among individuals with chronic pain. The aim of the present study was to better understand the role that belief in living a meaningful life despite pain might have on adjustment to chronic pain.
