The present study examined the use of sensory descriptors in assessing chronic pain patients in a multidisciplinary treatment center. Three hundred and eighty-eight chronic pain patients were divided into two groups based on the number of pain sensations which they chose to depict their pain. The results indicated that patients who used numerous sensory descriptors experienced more physical interference and emotional distress and were at greater risk for treatment failure than those patients who used only one descriptor. The results support the utility of sensory descriptors in assessing chronic pain patients.
本研究考察了在多学科治疗中心评估慢性疼痛患者时感官描述词的使用情况。388名慢性疼痛患者根据他们选择用来描述疼痛的疼痛感觉数量被分为两组。结果表明，使用大量感官描述词的患者比仅使用一个描述词的患者经历了更多的身体干扰和情绪困扰，且治疗失败的风险更大。这些结果支持了感官描述词在评估慢性疼痛患者方面的效用。
