Medscape (3/2, Lowry, Subscription Publication) reports, “A significant proportion of patients who suffer from chronic pain also have features of borderline personality disorder (BPD),” research indicated. After analyzing “data from 11 studies published between 1994 and 2019,” investigators found that “23% of patients with chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) had some features of BPD, including difficulty maintaining relationships as well as affect and mood instability.” The findings of the “systematic literature review” were presented at the American Academy of Pain Medicine’s annual meeting.
