Pain is common in FND and is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL), distress, and increased disability. The Fear-Avoidance Model (FAM) posits that psychological factors can exacerbate pain and disability. This study aimed to examine whether pain intensity and psychological factors of the FAM predict pain-related disability in individuals with FND. A secondary aim was to assess whether the relationship between pain intensity and pain-related disability was sequentially mediated by pain catastrophising, pain-related avoidance, and depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 248 adults with FND and pain (18\u201373\u00a0years) completed an online cross-sectional survey. Hierarchical regression analysis assessed whether pain intensity and psychological variables predicted pain-related disability. Sequential mediation analysis investigated direct and indirect effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-nine percent of participants reported pain associated with FND, and 93.5% reported persistent pain. Pain intensity, pain catastrophising, and pain-related avoidance explained 58.1% of the variance in pain-related disability. Mediation analysis revealed a significant direct effect of pain intensity on pain-related disability, with partial and sequential indirect effects via psychological variables. The final model explained 61.5% of the variance in pain-related disability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants with FND reported high levels of pain intensity, pain-related disability, and low QoL.
