Outcomes of multidisciplinary pain treatment in workers' compensation claimants and in the claimants of other insurance companies were studied. Patients were also segregated as to state of completion of the litigation process. No differences were found between the groups in organic and psychologic pathology. Significant improvement in outcome measures was found for the total group, but the workers' compensation claimants with completed litigation failed to show any significant improvement in these measures. The system itself and legal factors can be obstacles to rehabilitation of the patient with chronic pain. Early intervention is recommended to improve treatment outcome.
对工伤赔偿申请人和其他保险公司索赔人的多学科疼痛治疗结果进行了研究。患者还根据诉讼程序的完成状态进行了分类。两组在器质性和心理病理学方面未发现差异。整个组在结果指标上有显著改善，但诉讼已完成的工伤赔偿申请人在这些指标上未显示出任何显著改善。该系统本身和法律因素可能成为慢性疼痛患者康复的障碍。建议进行早期干预以改善治疗结果。
