Five patients with chronic pains in the various parts of the body such as muscular pain of the extermities and trunk, aticular pain, backache, etc. were reported. in addition to these pains, they had other somatic symptoms and emotional disturbances. Physical and neurological examinations showed no organic changes. Laboratory data were normal except for EEGs, in which minimal EEG abnormalities such as 14-6 Hz positive spikes and 6 Hz phantom spike and wave complexes were found in all the patients. Form the EEG findings, chronic pains in the present paper are regarded as one of central autonomic nerve and emotional disturbances of an epileptic nature in the broadest sense of the term. However, we would like to stress that these patients should be treated from a viewpoint of psychosomatic medicine, because they showed a neurotic tendency which was apparently caused by unsuitable diagnosis and treatment.
