Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) describes a genetically influenced trait characterized by greater of information , lower sensory threshold, and ease of overstimulation. It is hypothesized that SPS plays a crucial role in the context of chronic pain. This exploratory study examined SPS as a correlate of pain intensity and pain-related disability in a sample of adolescents reporting chronic pain.
