anxiety for operation pain after operation
Conditions
Interventions
In the active CBM condition, patients receive treatment as usual (TAU) and 
perform 2 weekly sessions of the active CBM training for 4 weeks. In the 
control CBM training patients will receive sham training concurrent to TAU. The 
brief (app. 20 minute) CBM sessions of cognitive training will be done on a 
computer. The sessions are planned so that they do not interfere with medical 
treatment patients might receive.
