ABSTRACT
Four clinical signs of chronic pain as an independent suffering were defined in 2,010 patients with painful syndromes of various sites, including those that occurred in association with organic diseases. They are as follows: (1) The chaotic nature of spatial pain parameters; (2) Infinite limits of its temporary parameters; (3) Mutual suppression of "foci" of pain; (4) Replacement of the monocausal dependence by polycausal. The formation of painful syndromes is explained from phylogenetic viewpoints.

The initial symptoms of vegetative crisis and the total number of symptoms in the intercrisis period were analyzed in 100 patients with paroxysmal permanent vegetative disorders. The most frequently occurring symptoms were defined and estimated from the standpoint of biological importance on which their higher sensitivity to pathogenic effects is based. The data obtained allow a conclusion about the necessity of differentiated symptomatic therapy.
