Database_chronic pain_1006

A sample of 1006 Italian women diagnosed with Chronic Pain participated in the study, categorized into fibromyalgia (FM), chronic headache (CH), vulvodynia (VU), mixed condition (MIX, consisting of FM in comorbidity with CM and/or VU), and healthy controls (HC) groups. Traumatic experiences (TEC), defense mechanisms (DMRS), and alexithymia (TAS) were assessed using self-report measures. We hypothesized that each pure group would exhibit a similar pattern of impairment for each variable, with unique characteristics. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the mixed group differed significantly from the single conditions and controls due to the presence of more impaired and peculiar psychological situations.

本研究纳入1006名确诊慢性疼痛（Chronic Pain）的意大利女性受试者，将其划分为纤维肌痛（fibromyalgia, FM）组、慢性头痛（chronic headache, CH）组、外阴痛（vulvodynia, VU）组、混合病症组（MIX，即合并CM与/或VU共病的纤维肌痛患者组）以及健康对照组（healthy controls, HC）。本研究采用自陈量表对创伤经历（Traumatic Experiences, TEC）、防御机制（defense mechanisms, DMRS）及述情障碍（alexithymia, TAS）进行评估。我们提出如下假设：各单一病症组在各项变量上均呈现相似的损害模式，同时具备各自独特的特征；此外，混合病症组因存在更为严重且特殊的心理状态，将与单一病症组及健康对照组存在显著差异。
