Validity of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) in detecting psychiatric disturbance in amputees with phantom pain.

J Lindesay.   

Abstract

The 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was validated against the PSE-derived Index of Definition in a sample of amputees with long-standing phantom and stump pain attending a Limb Fitting Centre. This form of the GHQ is a sensitive identifier of overt psychiatric disorder in this setting.
