Six hundred thirty-five chronic pain patients completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) prior to participation in a multidisciplinary inpatient pain treatment program. Three male and four female MMPI subgroups were identified by means of cluster analyses for each of two samples. Pretreatment and long-term follow-up differences were then examined among the MMPI subgroups. Results indicated that the subgroups identified in the present study closely resembled each other and those previously reported in the literature. However, at long-term follow-up only a few outcome differences were identified among male subgroups, while no differences were found among female subgroups. Possible explanations for no differential treatment outcomes among the MMPI subgroups are discussed.
635名慢性疼痛患者在参加多学科住院疼痛治疗项目之前完成了明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）。通过对两个样本分别进行聚类分析，确定了三个男性MMPI亚组和四个女性MMPI亚组。然后对这些MMPI亚组的治疗前和长期随访差异进行了检查。结果表明，本研究中确定的亚组彼此非常相似，也与文献中先前报道的亚组相似。然而，在长期随访中，仅在男性亚组中发现了一些结果差异，而在女性亚组之间未发现差异。文中讨论了MMPI亚组之间没有差异治疗结果的可能原因。
