This article highlights the significant prevalence and impact of pain in persons who have disabilities and points to the need for additional research in this area. Theory-driven research examining biopsychosocial models of and treatments for chronic pain are the important next steps in this area. The extensive literature on persons in whom pain is the primary disability provides a useful basis for such research. Pain may be one of several problems facing rehabilitation professionals in their care of persons with disabilities. Nonetheless, given the suffering associated with it, pain warrants careful assessment and, as indicated, intervention.
本文强调了疼痛在残疾人群体中的显著普遍性和影响，并指出了该领域进一步研究的必要性。以理论为驱动，研究慢性疼痛的生物心理社会模型及治疗方法，是该领域接下来的重要步骤。关于以疼痛为主要致残因素人群的大量文献，为这类研究提供了有用的基础。疼痛可能是康复专业人员在照顾残疾人士时面临的若干问题之一。尽管如此，鉴于疼痛带来的痛苦，它值得仔细评估，并如前所述，需要进行干预。
