• Anterior knee pain patients exhibit distinct functional brain connectivity compared to controls, and among catastrophizing subgroups. • Resting-state fMRI reveals potential for discriminating anterior knee pain patients with 80.5% accuracy. • Functional brain connectivity differences improve understanding of pain pathogenesis and objective anterior knee pain identification.
