In this context, research has found solicitous partner responses (i.e.,
exhibiting concern, offering assistance, discouraging activity) to be related to more pain behavior, less activity, more disability and physical dysfunction -LRB-,
higher tendencies to seek help, and greater usage of opioids in ICPs, whereas encouragement of ICP well behaviors (i.e.,
engagement in healthy activities) has been associated with lower levels of ICP pain behavior.
