Abstract
Pain-related disability is a multifaceted phenomenon, therefore malingering can occur in different and sometimes multiple dimensions. It is presently possible to accurately detect and diagnose malingering in some patients with pain. More work is needed for some detection techniques to be appropriately calibrated in pain populations. This work must focus on controlling the false positive error rate.
