Abstract

Stress and anxiety may induce functional pain syndrome such as temoromandibular disorder (TMD), fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In turn, pain may evoke anxiety and depression. Thus it produces a vicious circle and it is difficult to cure. The lecture will cover the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression and pain, the mechanism of the interactions and how to treat these syndromes.

应激、焦虑可能诱发某些功能性痛综合征，包括颞下颌关节紊乱病、纤维肌痛综合征、肠易激综合征等；同时疼痛又引起病人焦虑、抑郁，形成恶性循环，难于治愈。这个报告将涉及应激、焦虑、抑郁和疼痛之间的关系、产生这些交互影响的机制、以及如何有效地防治。
