    Chronic pain, particularly in the lumbar region, is often linked to psychological conflicts and personality factors. A thorough personality assessment is crucial to avoid misdiagnoses in patients experiencing psychogenic pain.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Context:

    • Spinal diseases and psychological disturbances (e.g., neuroses) contribute to chronic invalidity.
    • The lumbar region is psychologically significant, influencing conflicts related to sexuality, aggression, depression, and submission.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the link between lumbar region sensitivity and psychological disturbances.
    • To emphasize the necessity of personality appraisal in patients with chronic, psychically caused pain.

    Summary:

    • A neurological and clinical examination of numerous patients revealed that only 1% of those operated on had no organic changes.
    • This highlights the critical role of personality assessment in diagnosing and treating chronic pain with psychogenic origins.
