The experimental groups received eight sessions of 90-minutes. The McGill Pain Questionnaire and Wells Score were used to collect data.
Results: The Results of multiple analysis of covariance indicated that there was a significant difference between three groups in posttest scores of thought control and reducing the pain. The results of post hoc test indicated more effective and more reliable effectiveness of meta-transtheoretical therapy rather than meta-cognitive model in post-test and follow-up of two months on thought control and reducing the pain.
