Abstract
Presented are four patients with work-related pain in whom cognitive malingering was diagnosed using the Slick et al. (1999) criteria for Malingered Neurocognitive Dysfunction (MND). These cases demonstrate that cognitive malingering does occur in pain and that neuropsychological techniques for the detection of malingering can be effective in this population. They also illustrate the application of the Slick criteria to pain patients. Although the Slick criteria were not developed specifically for use with a pain population, the fact that some pain patients malinger cognitive disability allows for the application of these criteria. Moreover, the Slick system represents a model from which to develop a more comprehensive system to diagnose malingering in pain.
