Pain in Patients with Panic Disorder: Relation to Symptoms, Cognitive Characteristics and Treatment Outcome
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Although there has been a link between certain types of pain, notably chest pain, and panic disorder, the relation between pain and panic disorder has not been systematically evaluated. In the present study, the relation between pain symptoms (headache, chest pain, stomach pain, joint pain) and the clinical presentation of patients with panic disorder was evaluated.
