Application of ICD-11 among individuals with chronic pain: A post hoc analysis of the Stanford Self-Management Program.

Background: Chronic primary pain (CPP) is one of seven diagnostic groups within the proposed classification of chronic pain in ICD-11. Our aims were to apply the proposed ICD-11 criteria in a large cohort of chronic pain patients participating in the Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) and further investigate whether participants with CPP differed from participants with chronic secondary pain (CSP) regarding health, health expenditure and the effect of participating in the CPSMP.

Methods: A secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial on the effect of the CPSMP.

Outcome of a psychotherapeutic programme for patients with severe personality disorders.

A specialized psychotherapeutic day treatment programme was established in a Danish clinical setting on the basis of recent research and advances in treatment for severe personality disorders. This study analyses treatment effectiveness by comparing the day treatment programme with a treatment as usual (TAU) situation as given to personality-disordered patients on a waiting list. The sample consisted of 66 personality-disordered patients consecutively referred and diagnosed according to standardized criteria.
