Abstract
Multidisciplinary behavioral approach was performed to a patient suffering from chronic pain and panic disorder due to sequela of histerectomy and sacral nerve damage. Temperature, EMG and Plethysmographic biofeedback training, soft massage technique and cognitive therapy were applied to each of contingent complaints as occasion demands. Chronic pain was relieved through 6 months' treatment of muscle rexation, psychological desensitization of vascular spasm and cognitive interventions of obsessive thought of "recurrence of uterine cancer and death". If the postoperative reccuperation is not enough as expected in the control of pain and the tissue damage, behavioral approach is one of suggestions in these patients.
