Chronic pain syndromes are often the result of traumatic injury. The life threatening nature of a substantial number of these traumata precipitates the development of posttraumatic stress disorder in a sizable percentage of accident incurred chronic pain conditions. The present study presents evidence that systematic desensitization, a behavioral technique, can provide significant resolution of posttraumatic stress when this disorder occurs in the chronic pain population.
慢性疼痛综合征通常是创伤性损伤的结果。这些创伤中相当一部分具有危及生命的性质，在相当比例的因事故引发的慢性疼痛病症中，会促使创伤后应激障碍的发展。本研究提供的证据表明，当这种障碍出现在慢性疼痛人群中时，一种行为技术——系统脱敏法，可以显著缓解创伤后应激。
