Abstract:
:Chronic pain may be non-organic and also may be non-psychogenic as well. This report pertains to the socio-demographic, clinical, psychometric description and follow-up of 21 such cases. Though these are not different from psychogenic pain disorder as regards clinical presentation, idiopathic pain is more often observed in those elderly, town dwellers and those who received higher education. On the other hand psychogenic pain disorder has significantly higher (p less than 0.01) neuroticism scores. The prevalence and significance of idiopathic pain disorder is discussed. The identification of such a category is important in management of chronic pain patients.
