Four spinal cord injured patients with complaints of chronic pain were treated with muscle relaxation and cognitive alteration of attentiveness to pain. The patients reported pain below the level of the spinal lesion; relaxation procedures were directed to muscle groups above and below the level of lesion. Indices of improvement are the patient's subjective report and the staff observations of behavior during the rehabilitation program. Subjective reports were primarily of less pain and improved mood. Staff observations included better program attendance and improved mood. The implications of this approach for rehabilitation and its relationship to psychological theories of pain are discussed.
四名脊髓损伤且伴有慢性疼痛主诉的患者接受了肌肉放松和对疼痛注意力的认知改变治疗。患者报告脊髓损伤水平以下存在疼痛；放松程序针对损伤水平上下的肌肉群。改善指标包括患者的主观报告以及康复项目期间工作人员对行为的观察。主观报告主要是疼痛减轻和情绪改善。工作人员的观察结果包括更好地参与项目和情绪改善。本文讨论了这种方法对康复的意义及其与疼痛心理学理论的关系。
