Genuine disorder caused by repetitive movement has unmistakable features vitally different from occupational pseudo-illness, which comes and goes in new guises and massive epidemics wherever the label legitimizes gain from compensation. The assumption of an existing label such as the carpal tunnel syndrome gives the false idea of greater potential for deception. The solution to the menace lies in logical reasoning, which recognizes falsity before it begins to dominate the minds of the community.

Phantom pain is experienced by 60% to 80% of patients following limb amputation but is only severe in about 5% to 10% of cases. The mechanisms underlying pain in amputees are not fully understood, but factors in both the peripheral and central nervous system play a role. Treatment of phantom pain is not successful; a recent study on prevention of phantom pain showed negative results. The future may reveal new specific drugs for treatment.

Personality characteristics and disorders have long been noted in the chronic pain population. Clinicians and researchers alike will attest to the high rates of personality difficulties encountered in these individuals. Historically, it has been found that certain personality styles such as hypochondriasis and hysteria are common in chronic pain suffers. In addition, the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) is significantly greater in the pain population than in the general population or in medical or psychiatric populations. A diathesis-stress model has been suggested to account for this finding and is discussed in this article, with implications for both treatment and research.
