Of 100 consecutive patients admitted to a pain management program for patients without malignant disease who had chronic pain, 54 were definitely or probably depressed and 46 were not depressed by Research Diagnostic Criteria. As a result of 98% improvement of depression and low frequency (2%) of new development of depression, 98 of the original 100 patients were not depressed at the time of dismissal. This progress was maintained at long-term follow-up (average, 11.6 months): 89 of 100 patients remained non-depressed.
在100名连续入住无痛恶性疾病慢性疼痛患者疼痛管理项目的患者中，根据研究诊断标准，54名患者明确或可能患有抑郁症，46名患者未患抑郁症。由于抑郁症改善率达98%，且抑郁症新发病率较低（2%），最初的100名患者中有98名在出院时未患抑郁症。这一进展在长期随访（平均11.6个月）中得以维持：100名患者中有89名仍未患抑郁症。
