    Extractions: GARY TABAS, M.D. The phenomenon of somatization, which results in unexplained physical complaints, is ubiquitous in primary care settings although it often goes unrecognized. Medical training emphasizes the identification and treatment of organic problems and may leave physicians unprepared to recognize and address somatoform complaints. As a process, somatization ranges from mild stress-related symptoms to severe debilitation. Patients at the low end of the spectrum often respond to simple reassurance, but patients who are more impaired require interventions specifically designed to avoid unnecessary exposure to dangerous, costly and frustrating diagnostic procedures and treatments. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:1073-8.) I n patients with somatoform disorders, emotional distress or difficult life situations are experienced as physical symptoms. Patients who somatize present with persistent physical complaints for which a physiologic explanation cannot be found. Failure to recognize this condition and manage it appropriately may lead to frustrating, costly and potentially dangerous interventions that generally fail to identify occult disease and do not reduce suffering.

    Extractions: Tips from Other Journals Previous Next POEM Care Recommendation Letter for Somatization Disorder Clinical Question: Does a care recommendation letter improve outcomes for patients with somatization disorder? Setting: Outpatient (primary care) Study Design: Randomized controlled trial (nonblinded) Synopsis: Somatizing patients have many unexplained symptoms; evaluation of these symptoms consumes significant health care resources and is frustrating for the patient and the physician. In this study, 2,902 consecutive primary care patients were screened for the presence of at least three unexplained physical symptoms with an 11-item questionnaire derived from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , 3d ed., rev. (DSM-III-R) criteria for somatization disorder. A more detailed face-to-face interview was used to classify the patients (based on DSM-III-R criteria) into somatoform disorder (13 or more lifetime unexplained physical symptoms; n = 88), abridged somatization disorder (at least four unexplained lifetime physical symptoms in men or six in women; n = 183), or multisomatoform disorder (three or more current unexplained symptoms from a list of 15 in a patient with a two-year history of somatization; n = 111). The diagnostic classifications of somatoform disorder, abridged somatization disorder, and multisomatoform disorder were not mutually exclusive; 188 patients (6.4 percent) of the 2,902 patients were classified in at least one of these groups. Thus, on a typical day of outpatient care seeing 24 patients, a physician might see one or two of these patients, so this classification has face validity.

Medical Encyclopedia Alternate Names : Briquet's Syndrome Definition Somatization disorder is a chronic condition in which there are numerous physical complaints lasting for years and resulting in substantial impairment that are caused by psychological problems. The disorder is marked by multiple physical complaints that persist for years involving any body system. Most frequently, the complaints involve chronic pain and problems with the digestive system, the nervous system, and the reproductive system. The disorder usually begins before the age of 30 and occurs more often in females. Somatization disorder is highly stigmatizated and patients are often dismissed by their physicians as having problems that are "all in your head." However, as researchers study the connections between the brain, the digestive system, and the immune system, these disorders are becoming better understood and should not be seen as "faked" conditions which the patient could end if he or she chose to do so.

There is often an underlying mood disorder which can respond to conventional treatment, such as antidepressant medications. A supportive relationship with a sympathetic health care provider is the most important aspect of treatment. Regularly scheduled appointments should be maintained to review symptoms and the person's coping mechanisms. Test results should be explained. It is not helpful to tell people with this disorder that their symptoms are imaginary.

Stress often worsens symptoms.

    Extractions: Feedback About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Somatization Disorder: These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates against the populations of a particular country or region. The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Somatization Disorder are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics. This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Somatization Disorder statistics below refer to. As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication) as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Somatization Disorder in that region. About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Somatization Disorder: The word 'prevalence' of Somatization Disorder usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Somatization Disorder at any given time (i.e. people with Somatization Disorder). The term 'incidence' of Somatization Disorder means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Somatization Disorder diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Somatization Disorder). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like
