Response to Knittle

Responds to comments by K. P. Knittle (see record 2009-14439-017) on the authors' original article (see record 2007-06671-001) regarding the effect sizes they presented in their meta-analysis of psychological interventions for arthritis pain management. After conducting a re-analysis and reporting the results, the authors conclude that the findings still support their original conclusions with regard to the fact that psychosocial interventions can produce modest, but significant effects on pain that are within the range reported for other disease-related and chronic pain conditions.
