The relationship between pain and depression in a trial using paroxetine in sufferers of chronic low back pain. With this background, we wanted to gain a systematic overview of this field by performing a systematic literature search.

Retrospective studies suggest that patients with depression have significantly more clinic visits, phone calls to the clinic, and hospitalizations for pain-related symptoms in the months leading up to a diagnosis of depression. Presentation of progressively more physical complaints reduces depression recognition11,12 because patients and their medical providers (at least initially) often associate these symptoms with an underlying medical illness instead of an underlying depressive disorder. In depression studies not addressing pain, at least half of patients with major depression were not properly diagnosed and therefore not treated for depression in primary care settings.

Despite the promising findings that depression and pain respond to antidepressant therapy, many patients are treated primarily with pain-relieving medications that have little intrinsic antidepressant research has provided evidence of a central pain modulation system that can either dampen or amplify nociceptive signals from the periphery. 1995;36531- 540pubmedcrossref  depression in chronic low back pain patients: diagnostic efficiency of three self-report questionnaires. Fritzsche et al97 noticed that patients with depression and pain who lacked psychological attribution to their illness were offered less psychosocial treatment, experienced worse outcomes, and received more medications and physical older studies addressed how specific medication practices were influenced by pain in patients with depression.

Physical (or somatic) symptoms of depression, specifically fatigue, insomnia, and pain complaints, are more numerous in patients with depression, are frequently nonspecific,91,94 and are often unrelated to a known organic disease patient's presentation of physical complaints (and the prominence of pain symptoms) interferes with the recognition of depression for patients in primary care settings. Conclusion: resources and strategies of coping are significantly associated with depressive symptoms in late life, but more research to systematize the field of coping and to validate the instruments of resources and strategies of coping in older populations is required, especially among older persons suffering from major depression and cognitive decline. The association between depression and pain becomes stronger as the severity of either condition increases.

A total of 21 different instruments were used in the studies to assess the symptoms of depression. Among the 10 longitudinal studies of higher quality, a high ‘internally oriented recovery loc’ or ‘desired loc’ (perceived control in a situation), self-efficacy, optimism, mastery and a low externally oriented loc at baseline were all associated with fewer depressive symptoms and/or less persistent depression at follow-up (table 2).

Conclusively, the ability of an older person to retain good coping resources in terms of a strong soc and high internal control seems important for mental health and in the understanding of depression in late life. 4) does the presence of depression affect these same clinical outcomes in patients treated for pain? Instead, this review is a qualitative and semiquantitative synthesis of the relevant, representative, and evidence-based is the prevalence of pain symptoms in patients with depression?

Included depression severity and secondary measures such as functional status, quality of life, health care costs and utilization, and treatment efficacy.

On average, 65% of patients with depression experience one or more pain complaints, and depression is present in 5% to 85% (depending on the study setting) of patients with pain conditions.

In surgical patients, those with higher preoperative depression scores experienced greater postoperative studies35,116 and a literature review by linton128 have suggested that depression has a greater impact than other clinical factors on outcomes, especially functional impairment, in patients with pain, and that neglecting to treat the depression accounts for some of the pain treatment failures. Karger ag, uctionaccording to a review article by rosenvinge and rosenvinge [1], 10–19% of older persons in the general population suffer from symptoms of depression, and 2–4% suffer from a major depressive disorder. 173 however, larger clinical trials on non–tricyclic antidepressants in patients with comorbid depression and pain are needed.
