The role of psychological factors in chronic pain. II. A critical appraisal
Abstract
This paper, the second of two, concerning the study of psychological factors in chronic pain, presents a critical appraisal of the literature. Questionable assumptions, flawed methodology, and conceptual problems in earlier work are discussed, as are gradual improvements in methodological rigour and conceptual clarity. Methodological weaknesses in studies, including lack of control groups, selection biases, overinterpretation of correlational data, and use of inappropriate testing instruments are examined. Questions are raised about persisting tendencies to split mind from body by attributing pain to either organic or psychological causes. Despite advances in research and thinking in recent years, several issues remain unresolved in both the research enterprise and the clinical setting. These are discussed in relation to the respective needs of the researcher, the clinician, and the patient. Limitations on research conducted in clinical settings are considered and targets for improved methodology in studies are identified.

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.
