Alexithymia in somatoform disorder patients with chronic pain
Abstract
The prevalence of alexithymia in fifty-five motor vehicle accident survivors who had chronic pain complaints and met DSM-III-R criteria for somatoform pain disorder was 53%. Alexithymic and non-alexithymic patients did not differ on self-reports of current pain severity or in the number of pain locations. Alexithymic patients were found to use significantly more words to describe their pain, suggesting they may have a more diffuse style in communicating their pain experience.

Alexithymia is related to impoverished general functioning in somatoform disorders.
“Because alexithymia was found to be related to impoverished general functioning in somatoform disorders (2, 11–21), following the classification of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV-TR (22) and other precursors of SSRD, as described in DSM-5 (23), general functioning also may be a relevant outcome of treatment.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
