The presence of pain as a symptom has been studied in a series of 51 depressed elderly inpatients and in a control group of 71 subjects. The frequency of patients with moderate to severe pain was significantly higher in the experimental group (72%) than in the controls (33.8%). Of the various categories diagnosed according to the DSM III degree criteria, the highest scores for pain were gained by the subjects suffering from dysthymic disorder and atypical depression, while those obtained by the patients with major depression and adjustment disorder with depressive mood were lower. The difference does not seem to depend on the quantity of anxiety present.
对51名老年抑郁症住院患者及71名对照受试者组成的对照组进行了疼痛症状出现情况的研究。实验组中中度至重度疼痛患者的比例（72%）显著高于对照组（33.8%）。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版标准诊断的各类别中，心境恶劣障碍和非典型抑郁症患者的疼痛得分最高，而重度抑郁症和伴有抑郁情绪的适应障碍患者的得分较低。这种差异似乎并不取决于焦虑的程度。
