[Nonspecific pains and depression in neurology].

Nonspecific pains (NP) are considered as general symptoms in different pathologies. They occurred in most patients with depression. A data analysis using a program "PARUS" allowed to specify clinical characteristics related to depression. It has been found that the clinically significant depressive state amplified the pains characteristic of somatic and neurological pathology. Therefore, treatment of such patients must be complex and include a therapy of somatic disease and antidepressants. A choice of the latter is depended on its thymoanaleptic and, in case of NP, antinociceptive activity.
