pubmed:abstractText
Twenty-four patients with chronic postaccident pain were studied with self-rating symptom checklists, polysomnography and disability questionnaires. All except one had fibromyalgia. Eight had litigation resolved (R) while 16 had medicolegal claims still unresolved (UR). Patients from the R group were older, with a longer duration of symptoms and more occupation handicap compared to those from the UR group. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in other demographic data, nature of accident, symptoms, polysomnographic findings and disability. Medicolegal claim status in these patients did not differentiate the outcome of their symptoms. Implications for litigation, treatment and further studies are discussed.
