Schmerzintensität, Stimmung und medizinische Maßnahmen bei Patienten mit prächronischen Rückenschmerzen

Abstract

The findings indicate that pain intensity, mood and actions against pain are highly correlated. When pain intensity is statistically controlled, the influence of mood on taking medication or other actions against pain becomes more pronounced. It can be concluded that self-initiated actions against pain depend much more on mood than on pain intensity in pre-chronic low back pain patients.
