The purpose of this research is to investigate the distinctions relating to Presenting Symptoms and Treatment Outcomes between @entity1 suffering @entity2956 ( @entity2956 ) as a result of traumatic versus nontraumatic etiology. A geographically diverse cohort of 1,842 @entity1 diagnosed with @entity2956 was investigated with special emphasis placed on the following criteria: 1. The distribution of demographic and symptom characteristics of @entity1 with @entity130 as an immediate precipitating factor versus those with other nontraumatic etiologies; 2. The relationship between nontrauma status and treatment outcomes; 3. The interrelationships between nontrauma status, psychosocial factors, and treatment outcomes. @entity130 @entity1 tended to be younger, less educated, and more likely to be male than the nontrauma @entity1 . For this group the reported length of the @entity2956 problem was, as expected, of shorter duration when compared to the nontrauma @entity1 group. Length of treatment did not differ between the two groups. In comparison, @entity130 @entity1 reported higher initial overall symptoms including @entity158 limitations. However, symptoms related to @entity2720 did not vary appreciably. Treatment outcomes are complicated by the fact that @entity2956 encompasses several different diagnostic entities. @entity130 @entity1 reported significantly higher percentages of improvement in palpation @entity158 and perceived @entity3232 . No significant differences were found for @entity158 report, @entity2720 , stress, and overall @entity2956 symptomatology, as measured by the @entity1348 Scale's Global domain. @entity130 @entity1 manifested higher @entity458 levels (excepting stress) and showed significantly more improvement in both psychosocial function and stress than the nontrauma group.
