目的：健康焦虑（疑病症）的认知-行为模型在慢性疼痛中的应用取决于慢性疼痛中出现高水平健康焦虑的程度，这一点尚未确定。方法：采用健康焦虑量表调查连续招募的慢性疼痛患者（161例）和非临床对照（34例）、非临床对照（70例）健康焦虑的发生情况。结果：保守数据估计，在慢性疼痛样本中，疑病症发生率为36.7%，严重和致残性健康焦虑发生率为51.1%。结论：目前的研究发现，高水平的健康焦虑确实在慢性疼痛中非常普遍，这表明认知-行为健康焦虑模型至少在高度健康焦虑的慢性疼痛患者亚组中应用的潜在价值。(c) 2006爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objective: An application of the cognitive-behavioural model of health anxiety (hypochondriasis) to chronic pain depends on the extent to which high levels of health anxiety occur in chronic pain, which has yet to be established. Methods: The occurrence of health anxiety in consecutively recruited chronic pain patients (n=161) and nonclinical controls with (n=34) and without pain (n=70) was investigated using a questionnaire measure of health anxiety. Results: Conservative figures estimated a frequency of 36.7% for hypochondriasis and 51.1% of severe and disabling health anxiety in the chronic pain sample. Conclusion: The current finding that high levels of health anxiety are indeed very common in chronic pain indicates the potential value of an application of the cognitive-behavioural health anxiety model to at least the subgroup of highly health-anxious chronic pain patients.
