Objective: Chronic pain affects a person's thinking, performance and feelings, causing various limitations in a person's life. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between pain perception based on childhood trauma and mediated emotion regulation in people with chronic pain. Method: The method of the present study is a descriptive correlational method of structural equation modeling (path analysis). From patients referred to pain clinics in Tehran in 1399, 300 patients with chronic pain were selected by convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study included Granfsky and Craig's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Bernstein Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Visual Pain Scale (VAS). SPSS and Amos software were used to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicate that each of the positive and negative emotion regulation strategies plays a mediating role in the relationship between pain perception and childhood trauma in patients with chronic pain. Conclusion: The tendency of individuals to use positive or negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies can be a determining factor in the impact of childhood trauma on the perception of chronic pain.
