A retrospective observational study investigating the relationship between somatisation and pain perception in subjects with intractable pain
2016, European Journal of Integrative MedicineCitation Excerpt :In other words, somatisation, the manifestation of emotional problems as bodily symptoms [1], may be implicated in cases of intractable pain. Being related to emotional components in origin, somatic symptoms are poorly controlled by the usual medical treatments for pain, and lead afflicted individuals to consult a series of health professionals (doctor shopping) in the conviction that they have a physical disease, despite reassurances to the contrary [3–6]. Patients who take on this “sick role” are said to display so-called abnormal illness behaviour (AIB), which studies show is closely related to somatisation and medically unexplained syndromes [7] and leads to the perpetuation of pain and a worsening of treatment response [8].

2008, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :In the psychiatric domain, the IBQ has been used to measure the reporting of physical symptoms in the absence of accompanying pathology such as in the case of somatoform disorders including somatization disorder, conversion disorder, hypochondriasis, and body dysmorphic disorder [3]. Both individuals with somatic symptoms receiving inpatient care [27,49] and those seeking outpatient psychiatric care [36,49–51] have been studied. AIB has also been studied among individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis of panic disorder [52,53] and hysteria [54].
