  • Title: [Psychological evaluation of patients by state-trait anxiety inventory in pain clinic].
    Author: Fukuda H, Kasuda H, Nakaigawa Y, Nemoto K, Shimizu R.
    Journal: Masui; 1994 Oct; 43(10):1506-8. PubMed ID: 7815700.
    Abstract:
    In 84 outpatients who visited our pain clinic, we evaluated their anxiety before the first examination, using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. State anxiety scores were high in all the patients regardless of their underlying disease. Trait anxiety scores in patients with chronic pain such as postherpetic neuralgia or cervic-shoulder-hand syndrome were higher than in patients with facial nerve palsy, sudden hearing loss or herpetic pain. This study indicates that psychosomatic management is mandatory for patients with chronic pain.
