ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to compare the cognitive complaints of litigating patients with and with outhead injuries to similar groups of non-litigating patients. It was found that patients presenting with pain complaints in the context of a worker's compen sation (WC) claim reported substantially more cognitive symptoms than patients with intractable chronic pain who were candidates for a neurosurgically-placed dorsal column stimulating device. The WCclaim ants reported comparable ormore cognitive symptoms than patients with head injuries who were not involved in litigation. The WCclaim ants with chronic pain provided symptorn profiles comparable to the profiles obtained from litigating patients with closed head injuries.
