11名患者因外科手术或注射位置不当而出现头痛。这是强烈的，持续的，燃烧的性质的疼痛，区分头痛从其他神经损伤后遗症。损伤的模式，以及症状和体征及其持续时间，表明最近倾向于根据其在战争或和平时期的发生情况，有或没有自主神经功能障碍，将头痛分为“主要”和“轻微”形式是不适当的。这些病人中的大多数已寻求法律的补救。所有法律的问题已经解决的案件都有利于原告。
Eleven patients had causalgia that resulted from surgical procedures or improperly placed injections. It is the intense, unremitting, burning quality of the pain that distinguishes causalgia from other nerve injury sequelae. The mode of injury, as well as the symptoms and signs and their duration, suggests that the recent tendency to divide causalgia into "major" and "minor" forms on the basis of its occurrence during war or peace, with or without autonomic dysfunction, is improper. Most of these patients have sought legal redress. All cases for which the legal issues are complete have been settled in favor of the plaintiffs.
