| Popis: | Objectives Interdisciplinary treatment programmes are the gold standard for patients suffering from chronic pain. However, several patient-related factors seem to influence the patients’ outcome. The aim of our study was to inquire whether patients with personality disorders (PD) might benefit less from an interdisciplinary treatment programme compared to patients without PD. Methods A prospective, observational study with chronic pain patients attending a 5-week interdisciplinary treatment programme was performed. Main outcome parameters were psychological stabilization and pain intensity before and after the programme. Results Out of the 104 included patients, 71 (68.3%) showed personality accentuations and 16 (15.4%) were diagnosed with PDs. PDs were mostly classified as histrionic, followed by borderline and narcistic personality. Patients diagnosed with histrionic accentuation showed a significantly better treatment response in terms of pain. Reduction in ADS (Allgemeine Depressionsskala – depression scale) was 3.4 in patients with PD and 11.1 in those without PD. Borderline patients showed a significant increase of ADS (by 2.0; p Discussion Patients with chronic pain and personality accentuations or disorder only showed a slightly different outcome after interdisciplinary treatment programme and should therefore not be excluded from these programmes.
