Abstract
Results from several studies suggest that pain experience is diminished in people with schizophrenia. A reduced sensitivity for pain would have implications for treating people for painful conditions in clinical practice. In this chapter, a short overview of pain in schizophrenia is provided along with discussion of some theoretical suggestions concerning the neuropathology of schizophrenia in pain- processing areas. Additionally, we mention possible confounders for pain research in persons with schizophrenia.
