An analysis of the language of pain complaints, employing categories of descriptors, was used to determine if chronic pain of either psychiatric of organic origin might be depicted in terms specific for the disease. The complaints of 128 patients with chronic pain were studied for characteristic patterns. Patients with pain of organic etiology used sensory-thermal (e.g., hot, burning) words more frequently than those with pain of psychiatric origin. Female patients with pain attributed to anxiety used sensor-temporal words (e.g., throbbing) more frequently than those with other psychiatric diagnoses. There was also a statistically significant preponderance of pain on the left when the groups of patients with physical and psychological illness were combined.
通过使用描述词类别对疼痛主诉的语言进行分析，以确定精神性或器质性慢性疼痛是否可以用特定于该疾病的术语来描述。对128例慢性疼痛患者的主诉进行了特征模式研究。器质性病因疼痛的患者比精神性病因疼痛的患者更频繁地使用感觉-热（如热、灼痛）类词汇。归因于焦虑的疼痛的女性患者比其他精神疾病诊断的患者更频繁地使用感觉-时间类词汇（如搏动性）。当合并身体疾病和心理疾病患者组时，左侧疼痛也存在统计学上的显著优势。
