Although there is abundant literature showing the effectiveness of cognitivebehavioral treatment of chronic pain, in our country, there was no manual for it. For this reason, we designed a protocol that describes the various techniques of this therapy. In this article, we conducted a detailed description. Before dealing with cognitive-behavioral therapy, we present a review of the main psychological therapies used in the treatment of chronicpain.

Keywords : chronic pain; cognitive-behavioral therapy; relaxation; hypnosis; biofeedback; operant techniques; acceptance and commitment therapy; mindfulness; emotional disclosure.
