Abstract

In 61 patients with generalized musculoskeletal pain, severity of anxiety and depression correlated significantly with self-reported impact of illness and physician-rated disability. Depression was significantly associated with pain-frequency, whereas anxiety was unrelated. Depressed mood was more closely tied to patients' ability to function than to their experience of pain.

摘要

在61例患有全身性肌肉骨骼疼痛的患者中，焦虑和抑郁的严重程度与自我报告的疾病影响及医生评定的残疾程度显著相关。抑郁与疼痛频率显著相关，而焦虑则无此关联。抑郁情绪与患者的功能能力联系更为紧密，而非与他们的疼痛体验。
